Hi.
Nothing compares to Chromium (browser) in terms of compilation times. On
my system with 12 core threads it takes about 8 hours to compile - which
is 4 times longer than 10 years ago with 2 core threads ;)
Libreoffice takes a few hours, but less than half of chromium. Nothing
gets close to Chromium. But otherwise webkitgtk and qtwebengine are to
big ones - but still about a quarter of Chromium.

After my long time away from Gentoo, I thought perhaps some packages
that always took ages to compile would have improved. I needed to change
to ~amd64 anyway (dumb n00b mistake leaving it at amd64). So that's what
I did and let emerge do it's thing.
chromium has been building since 10:14, it's now 21:16 and still going
so 9 hours at least on this machine to build a browser - almost as bad
as openoffice at it's worst (regularly took 12 hours). Nodejs also took
a while, but I didn't record time.
What other packages have huge build times?
