The size of software projects these days tend to dwarf that easily.  For
a personal website project of mine, for example, SCons is taking
noticeably long just to scan the entire directory tree for changes. (But
then again, I do have a *lot* of intermediate build targets.) If a
one-man project is already running into these performance limits, how
much faster enterprise projects?
