Hehe, LLVM takes about an hour to compile on my laptop. The compiler itself is not tiny in any way. It really refers to the size of the binaries produced which is usually very small. For example, for WebAssembly, reductions to 3% of the original size are not uncommon.

3% seems common (in my testing), with 2% occasionally happening as well. ;)
