Looks like you need a much faster CPU. What is the compilation target (Linux ARMv8?) ?

LinuxAmd64, i was however just doing a whole project build. I'm on a laptop so it explains the slow down, but I was plugged into a charger and I have a

Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz × 8

How fast are we talking here?? 5GHz??😂

I should get a 128 core server just to build intellij

Better yet, secure some CPU time on a Super computer. The compilation will be done in a matter of about 10 minutes 😆.

@Youssef Shoaib [MOD] there's something called GitHub actions lol

These days you don't even need a powerful PC, just access to a powerful cloud server, that's it.

But can I use GitHub actions while I'm locally developing? I thought GitHub actions were for CI and stuff, as in like whenever I commit something they run.

You can use it locally, with something called 'act'

[andylamax]

@therealbluepandabear if one uses github actions and then proceed to run locally, are we not back to square?? Wasn't running locally the bottle neck that you suggested to run actions on a cloud computer?? No?
