Yep, it’s true – it takes longer to build Firefox 2.0 than it does to build 1.5. Timings on a 500Mhz EV56 AlphaServer 800 running NetBSD:
real 612m43.097s
user 534m11.005s
sys 80m52.159s

Contrast those with my previous results and you’ll see that it takes about 4 minutes longer to build 2.0. It’s bloat I tell you ;-)
