Delphi used to compile 200k lines in less than ten seconds. That was around year 2000, with first generation Pentium. Later it slowed down a bit, but not so much.

IIRC, C family compilers suffer from some problem with headers that makes compile time much longer than it should.

Edit: oh, and that was rebuilding the whole program from scratch, including all libraries. A little change in the current file was les than one sec. Native code, in case you're wondering.
