That's exactly what you said, and it was incorrect:

> This is exactly the shipping I'm talking about. The gains would be so miniscule (because, again, and incremental compile was never actually slow even on the PC) and the network overhead adds up. Especially back then.

The network overhead was negligible. The gains were enormous.

>> I said miniscule cancels out miniscule.

> You keep claiming it somehow incurred substantial overhead

This is going nowhere. You keep putting words in my mouth. Final message.

Jesus Christ. Networking was cheap. Local builds on a PC were expensive. You are pedantic, foolish, and wrong.

Were you even a developer in the 90s? Are you trying to annoy people?
