I don't know the exact point but a build of our source code was something that you fired off and went to lunch and hoped it was done and didn't error out by the time you got back. The machine wasn't good for anything else as it cranked away. Then it gt to a point where it took a few minutes and you could watch cat videos while you waited. It didn't improve too much after that. The company was frugal so we never got monster machines but I'm not sure that would have made a huge difference. It might have for reprojecting massive raster files. That still took hours.
