Can you believe, at some limited time window years ago, www/chromium
built much faster than www/firefox?

At the time, www/firefox tool far longer than now (around 4x to 5x!),
though.

IIRC, it was because www/chromium introduced pre-compiled headers.
It significantly reduced build time, but not sure why, the supports
for it was dropped, maybe because something problematic happened,
maybe non-FreeBSD environments.
