Description
I don't have any hard empirical evidence, but if there was a repository of pre-built libs for the major systems (OS X versions, Windows versions, Ubuntu, Alpine?) then builds would be fully parallel downloads instead of having serial build dependencies, so some builds that take about half an hour currently could take only minutes.
This is done by homebrew to speed up installs.
