There is no such thing as "compilation speed". There are lots of different CPUs 
in existence: some specialized for mobile, some for home desktops, and some for 
multi-million-dollar super-computer compilers in the cloud.

So it's about time we start measuring compilation in terms of cost (given free 
market competition between different cloud service providers) rather than time.

(There's also overhead time to sync your source code into RAM of the compiler 
in the cloud and return the result, but on the modern Internet that's less than 
0.1 seconds.)
