At my current $WORK it takes a 40 core linux box with 200GB of RAM
22 hours to rebuild our source tree from scratch.
So for some of us it hasn?t gotten any better over the years.

Hell no!
90% of our work was in C, the rest in m68k assembler (our own), VAX
MACRO, or FORTRAN. We started off with Whitesmith's C then by the
late 80s also used DEC's VAX C.
Compiling all the code for our product took the 11/750 6 hours to
compile and link plus an additional 2 hours for an 11/730 to link
under a different version of VMS. 8 hours total to rebuild totally
from source. Some things about the good old days weren't so good.
-ethan I'll agree with that. We used to run 40-50
users on our 8MB 11/750
(with both CMI and Unibus disk) but it did do some swapping over 8-10
users.
You obviously didn't use the Ada compiler. :-)
Or Eunice, for that matter.
