22 minutes for a full build of an OS written in C in the early 90's seems fast. Then again, it wasn't a big as it is now.

I remember building a circa 1.0 kernel for Linux on a 386 in the early 90s (would have been around 1995) and it took > 24 hours to compile - I'm sure someone could speed run this today, but that's what I remember :)
