Hello Jens!
Well, today we have more than 250K java lines of client code divided in around 50 modules compiled in 4 permutations (2 browsers and 2 languages). I would say that full clean-build, let's say for a release or in continuous integration, could actually take up to 30 min and would not be a problem. But I can not let this grow indefinitely in memory, it would be a problem even for a server. Today I had to increase again maxHeapSize of the build as it surpassed 3GB. All our developers have new core i7 machines with 8gb of RAM. For dev we are working with strategies as commenting out groups of modules that we are not working on to improve compile time and memory consumption. What we need is to structure better our projects to *decrease the memory footprint for dev and CI environment and compile time for dev*. We plan on increasing a lot our code base and with the current structure it will really soon become unsustainable.
