This winner (?) has to be the Mipspro compilers with multipass code
path analysis and branch optimization turned on. Back when I was
doing the Irix builds of the distributed.net client I would routinely
see compile times in the 10's of minutes. Well, I tell a lie. All
the magic happened during the link phase, but even then, it took a
loooong time. And we had reasonably fast machines (for the day,
anyway).
