My CPU is no slouch (Ryzen 7 2700) but it still took 6 hours to compile ungoogled-chromium at a consistent >95% load across all cores.

@amolith oof, that's partly why I'm getting a better CPU (I have a 2700x which is a higher clocked version of the 2700)

@amolith pretty sure though I'd need a Threadripper and much more RAM to compile it in a reasonable amount of time.

@normandy @amolith It would definitely help, I ended up getting a programming server though with 128 Cores EPYC, because I couldn't bare to wait for hours to build such packages. ​

@centi @normandy you're building the wrong packages then lol. I'll probably keep this installed for . . . three hours 🤔 then switch to something else. I'm using Firefox for now but looking around for a decent option
