Fyi the latest builds of OpenSCAD have a new fast-csg library.

My compiling never takes more then a minute, usually it's less than a second.

Waiting over an hour to compile a CAD drawing seems untenable to me.

Since then there's manifold. It's even faster.

To be clear, it was an hour years ago, now it's 1m40s. This includes all post processing and PNG rendering too.

Yes, manifold has been the way to go. I still get geometric artifacts with fast-csg and it doesn't nearly have the same impact on performance. Took a day-long compilation down to 10m for me just adding the `--enable manifold` flag.
