Hi there,

On my 2010 Linux custom build machine it compiled on average between 60-70
seconds. I'm running an original core i7 860 from back in the day (ca.
2009), with 8GB ram. Great looking score! 

Hope this helps you. 

You should be all set with almost any machine these days, compared to what
you have been used to...LilyPond is not as demanding on CPU/GPU as you may
think she is... ;)
