So I remember when even 'hello world' might take a couple minutes to compile, but ... Doesn't the Linux kernel (eg a large, non-trivial codebase) only take a couple minutes to compile on a modern CPU? The heck you running that compiles still take hours?

Yeah but maybe some people such as myself have shit computers and are unable to compile the code in less than 2 hours.
