You posted a 7MB size (and an 8MB one), in a post about hypothetical 
1-10GB executables. I didn't realise it was the size of the project that 
took 1 hour of CPU time to build.

So that's about 2KB/second of CPU time.

This is about half the speed of my first assembler, that ran on a 2.5MHz 
8-bit processor in 16KB, which could translate assembly to binary at 
about 4KB/second.

I can't say I'm impressed. Oh, I forgot: you're using 6 cores, to 
effectively achieve 9KB/second. I reckon you could write the output to 
floppy disk, without impacting those 13 minutes too much! Somebody would 
have to keep switching disks though.
