On a high-end 4-core x86, building LLVM and LDC can usually be

Building dmd on my Windows box takes 26 seconds, optimized, using a
single core.
Build speed of the compiler itself is an utterly trivial matter, my
primary concern is speed for the end-user. Even the build speed/memory
usage of my projects is not a problem, I can always throw more money at
hardware. For example, I am considering making the next round of developer
box updates to Intel Xeon E1650's with 32GB RAM.
Gentlemen, from a business prospective, compiler and/or project build
times are the least of your problems. How well the code performs and most
importantly the accuracy of the code generation is of key concern.
