Throwing hardware at performance problems is a fallacy most of the time. At least when you have the knobs to turn at your disposal, like in software development.

Benchmark your build to understand why it's slow. The first thing that jumps out to me is you're using WSL which has non negligible penalties in a few cases. Have you tried dual booting into Linux and running everything natively?

Once you do: benchmark!

It sounds like hardware isn't the problem here, but your tool chain. I don't know enough about it to give insight but it's worthwhile analyzing and googling to see what is taking so long and how to make it faster.

Hi, as I mentioned, I tried building under Ubuntu, which didn't improve build time that much considering the hardware specs, IMHO. So it does point out to optimizing the build itself, as esperent also suggested.
