11 Interactive time is important. If it were adding those extra seconds to
12 the build, no-one would care. But it's not. It's adding them to when
13 the user's sitting at the screen waiting for results.

17 No, he means 50% of pretend time when you're sitting there waiting to

32
33 It is the best. If we're requiring EAPI before trying to parse PV, all
34 the EAPIs have to be known to do any ordering.
