Last year I built libbitcoin-system on a very old Ubuntu machine (4GB ram) and on a recent windows machine (16GB ram/i9 processor). The build time was way faster on the windows machine (maybe 10 times I don't remember). I am quite new to C++ and building project. I am wondering what the cause of this stark difference. Is it due mainly to the hardware? Is the build time dependent on the CPU? Thanks

It can take longer to build than to sync 😵‍💫.
