Firefox build times are much faster than that. My MacBook Pro can build Firefox in 12 minutes, but other people can build everything in less than 8 minutes! :)

Everything should happen in under 3 seconds. Once you get past that threshold, you get a qualitative change in development style.

Mozilla is always looking for new contributors. Think how much more productive you could be with such fast Firefox builds! ;)
