I think it is still invalid to consider for a benchmark. We don't consider a car track based on how quickly 10 year old cars can navigate it.

In the last decade we have gone from everyone needs an antivirus to Windows 10 is good enough for most people. We've had Spectre and meltdown, SSDs have become viable and been replaced by nvmE SSDs we've had a decade of OS development, filesystem development and hardware improvements.weve also had huge improvements in build ststems, Ninja was only relewaeed in 2012!

And yet, even after all of that, the TLDR from the article is "scons is an order of magnitude slower than make, but my hardware was the bottleneck before i figured it out scaled quadratically, therefore scons is not slow".
