Can you show me benchmarks that demonstrate that all the time you spend
building your software is eventually repaid?  e.g., if a build of the X
dependency chain takes 12 hours (which it used to, haven't done it in a
while), do you save so much time with your lean optimized binaries that
you will ever save 12 hours?  And can you demonstrate this?
