This is an often made and legitimate assumption, but it almost always 
ends up getting proven wrong.

See this thread:

Once more, Qt and KDE are *bitches* to compile. They're huge, they're in 
C++, and C++ compilation is a lot more CPU-intensive. They will often 
trigger temperature-caused crashes in computers that are otherwise hot 
but fine.

So a good idea is generally to open the box (and possibly the window of 
your room as well if needed) during their compilation and see if it 
works better. Simple solution, always worth trying. :)
