Walden,
I'm just curious: Just how long does it typically take to do a build? I'm guessing these are Windows' apps of some kind, not System i stuff.
I just compiled a 1000+ line ILE RPG program (including comments) which finished before I could blink (520 at V5R4). It's part of a massive project that is expanding the size of a field. There are > 100 tables (mostly archives) that need to be converted and hundreds of programs. The whole process (rebuilding the tables and pushing the program changes) takes about 15 minutes, but this is an extreme project; most take < 2 minutes. But this may not be comparable to what you're talking about, which is why I asked.
Thanks.

The only problem is that the cost is still much higher.
Well, the cost of the drive is much higher. However, when you look at
the increased performance there's a productivity cost associated with
that too. In the Fog Creek example, devs are coding more since they're
waiting for builds less. So the net "cost" to the company could be
negative, they get more out of their programmers than the cost of the
drives.
