It takes >12h to build Windows on the MS build platform.
On a single core, Chromium surely takes hours to build.
Though I agree that 40min for the repository in question is highly suspect.

Earlier this year Bruce Dawson had a post indicating that it took about a CPU-day, though coalescing files (“jumbo builds”) significantly reduces build time (we’re talking down to 5h), however that’s at the expense of incremental building, and it constrains the code as you can get symbol collisions between the coalesced files.
