Have read that the main performance bottleneck for software compilation is the CPU, is that still the case? What is the main compilation bottleneck when compiling a Kotlin program/library? Is the compilation bottleneck the same across all Kotlin platforms (Kotlin JVM/Android/JS/Native etc)?

JVM and Android compilation is the same (aside from
Gradle plugin pipelone, but it’s another level, not compiler itself)

I don’t know any proofs, but on practice it looks that CPU is bottleneck for compilation
