C programmers are typically not bothered about build times because
a) their build times are rarely high (Scott's projects are C++), and
b), they are willing to sacrifice high build times if it means more
efficient run times.

 With computee resources you use for compilation of your simulator,
compilation of Linux kernel should finish rather quickly.
At least, quickly by Muttley's standard. He said that 80 seconds are
o.k. I suppose that it would take less than that.

He (I assume) actually said that 80 seconds would be OK even for his 7.5Kloc project:
"No it isn't. THat example I gave you built in 0.8 seconds. It would make zero difference to me if it took 8 or 80."
But I think by this point he's saying anything just to be contrary.
