Bruce, Interesting ... and a surprise to me - I had based my opinion only on my memory of the relative size of packages: Qt-5.9.2 => Download size: 288 MB WebKitGTK+-2.18.1 => Download size: 15 MB After Qt's package size went over 100MB some time ago, I wrote its developers off as having lost their mind. Any ideas as to why Qt compiles so much faster than WebKitGTK given the large disparity in the package sizes? Is the Qt package including large amounts of code/data that is not complied under Linux, but is still included due to the cross-platform nature of Qt? In anycase, I do think an SBU of 27*4 = 108 is "doable" on an old machine. So, the Qt browser route is also an option, if he can (still) disable the use of SSE in Qt 5.
