Just as a data point, my desktop is a Xeon e3-1230 v5, which is the same silicon as the i7 from 2015. The CPU cost $250 new, the entire desktop was $1100 or so, not including the monitors.
Then ran the build step "time ./x.py build -j 8"
...

Seems pretty reasonable considering it's not a particularly high end desktop from 2015. Seems like a cheap price to pay for increased reliability and security.
