I have first hand experience of painfully slow C# compile times. Sprinkle in a few extra slow things like EDMX generated files (not C# but part of the MS ecosystem) and it has no business being in a list of fast compiling languages.

Painfully slow? On a modern machine reasonable sized solution will compile almost instantly.
I can do the same with some C code I worked on at enterprise scale.

Lets apply the same rules then.

This.

The C# compiler is brutally slow and the language idioms encourage enormous amounts of boilerplate garbage, which slows builds even further.
