Just checked the logs for the Chromium bots, their null-build there is ~15s ( http://build.webkit.org/builders/Chromium Linux Release/builds/20242/steps/compile-webkit/logs/stdio). I guess the ~0s was on some powerful development machine the hacker I talked with had, or perhaps the slave is overloaded or misconfigured in some way. Good news I guess, the setup in my laptop is already faster (with the Plo hack). Xan
