Do we even care that much about accuracy? I don't really care that the build takes 30 or 31 seconds, or even 1 minute, but I certainly care whether it takes 30s or 3h. I think this is also what SBUs give you: a rough estimate of which build is longer than the other. I think a simple proportionality relation would work well enough in most common cases. It might be quite off on a super computer, but who cares, really?

>Skimming through the research that lily provided our builds are reproducible so the changes in cpu cycles requirements should be same with any post-build implementation disabled, but i recognize that different CPUs might use different configuration that influences the calculation and it will be a complicated task to account for all variables that influence the build across systems so instead of accurate measurements we should work with a sane tolerance for accuracy.
