Hi, Inspired by a similar thread on the Chromium mailing lists [1], I have measured the build times of WebKitGTK+ over the past 2.5 years.
I benchmarked two different compilers (GCC and Clang). The summary is: since September 2014 the time for building WebKitGTK+ has increased in a 62% for GCC 4.9 and a 51% for Clang 3.8. However, the number of ninja targets has only increased a 19%. On the Chromium thread [1] it is suggested that one possible explanation for the increase in compile times is that C++11 features are slower to compile. Since most of the code is cross-platform, I expect other ports (like Mac) to have a very similar percentage increases. I'm attaching an image with the plot, as also linking below to the interactive plot below where you can also see the raw numbers: https://plot.ly/~clopezdb67/3/ Hope you find this data interesting.
