I assume that for template-heavy c++, that could easily be hundreds of gigabytes for 1 gigabyte of c++ code to compile...?

If you're working from a laptop, surely the wifi connection will by far be the bottleneck?

It is. These systems (inctedibuild, fastbuild) tend to work extremely well but are network bottlenecked. You need a fast, low latency connection.
