Hi Andrea! Thank you for implementing this blacklist; it turns out that char-fold.el was the only file my laptop could not handle[1], though as you'll see org.el was a strong contender. It took 3 days, but make -j1 successfully ran to completion on commit 92cf4bb. In comparison, I've just compiled commit 9d8fc3a on master from scratch, and it took exactly 1 hour 35 minutes. As soon as I've figured out how to use the elisp-benchmarks package, I'll post some figures; is there a specific place (bug number, emacs-devel thread) where you usually collect such feedback? I've attached some more graphs on the compilation process, as well as the source material[2] (measurement script, measurements, and plotting script). The overall picture (only files which took more than 10 minutes to compile are labeled):
