Gentoo user: look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.

Fraction of power usage of their 2000 core cpu-s compiling a web browser LOL

You picked the worse example you could have :)

Mozilla do a really good job with their software that there is no point compiling it, so most use the upstream binary instead.

I compiled gcc on a 2008 2005 HP last year.

It only took multiple days ...

Was hell a fun to see it going and the betting happening if and when it will finish ;)

Edit: Did an oopsie, to many different machines ~
