But... Why? This isn't explained at all in the article. Why would we need to run a 4 hour long build process? I could google it, sure. But the article should probably also mention that. Anyway, if anyone cares to enlighten me...

I'm not completely sure why the build time is so long, but I have a few guesses. I think that Chromium is compiling for many many different platforms when it builds which would explain the huge required space. In addition it is compiling all of its dependencies along with it, instead of linking them like so many other libraries do. And the 3rd thing is that my computer is not that fast.
