Excuse me, it took the auther 30-40 seconds (0m33.260s) to build the Linux kernel on an M2 with 32GB RAM? Surely that's a typo?

    Looks like they're doing allnoconfig so there's not much to build.

    With make allnoconfig it also takes <30s on a recent-ish Intel CPU (12th gen; i7 12700). As low as 20s if it's cached and with make -j20.

    1. modern computers are insanely fast

    2. they compiled a version of the kernel with as many configurable options disabled as possible

This kind of work reminds me of early WSL1-era hacks
