Depends on the machine, on large projects, zig can take up to 10-15 seconds in my i5 12gb, ofc, after the first hit it becomes 0.01 recompiling without change (in case you removed the out and not the cache) and the first time you compile it takes a bit (not counted) since it will precompile std (or that is what I've seen) in a global cache (just so std does not make your code take longer to compile), small things takes 1-3 seconds depending on how comptime heavy I make my code do.

Zig comptime is the part that takes a bit more time compiling for being an interpreted version of the language, and the more comptime you use, the more time it takes (for a bit, even comptime heavy code can gain just a few seconds out of it, of course can gain 30 minutes, but you would be making like, weird jumps and generating strings on comptime that gets used on runtime, or an expensive algorithm that will take a long time to execute)
