> I don't know the exact amounts of time per phase, but you might change a header file and that will of course hurt you a lot more than 1 translation unit.

Yeah, which is why I was talking about source files. I was surprised that changing 1 source file (meaning re-compiling that one source file and then re-linking the project) takes 10 minutes. If you're changing header files then yeah it's gonna take longer.



FWIW, I've heard from people who know this stuff that linking is actually super slow for us :). I also wanted to try out mold, but I couldn't manage to get it to work.
