Agreed - though I'd say that performance-sensitivity is more a function of the number of users than the application domain.
If a few hundred or few thousand people each have to build Chrome from scratch a couple times, and making their compilation process much slower makes each of a trillion pageviews a millisecond faster...the break-even point seems to be about a 27 hour build time sacrifice.
