Question: What do youj mean by long build time.
Building everything takes 1.5-2 hours.
Doing an incremental build is much less.
When I started, my laptop would take 42 hours to complete the build
(Calculated, I gave up way before), but then I got a decent machine.
If you consider 1.5 hours for the first build long, then you still have
a problem
