Lol good to know. Is this corporate software or something public?
I've spent way too much time trying to parallelize and optimize my pipeline, I'm sure I could tweak some more but, diminishing returns. I already build my own build "orchestration" software to help with this.

It's a corporate sw.
with populated chaches it goes to 8-10 minutes when it does basically nothing then assembling the project parts. The average build with real code takes under 20 minutes.
I'd give gradle a try. C is not really a first class citizen, but it worked surprisgly well even for larger C projects for me. Batteries included (parallelization, compiling avoidance, local and thing remote caching)
Will take a look thanks!
Yeah compiling C is the bulk of the CPU time. The rest is probably in tar+gz and copying files around. My projects are mono repos with anywhere from 4-30 libraries that all have their own "independent" packages. The C# takes a while to but not as bad as the C libraries.
