While everyone else is (rightfully) correcting you, I am curious what sort of codebases you’re working with?

Are you working on large compiled software? Any game, rendering engine or large application benefits from compilation units in my experience.

Some of my libraries that I work with take upwards of an hour for a fresh compile. Having sane compilation units cuts down subsequent iteration to minutes instead.
