So other factors such as available storage capacity (for revision control?)) and editing capability (bigger screen?) could be more important than just compilation speed. | |

My smartphone easiliy outperformes my Intel PC. Also, we don't know why the compile time matters to you. In embedded development, a build-deploy-debug cycle is often much quicker when compiling on the target, even if it has the slower CPU. | |
