Hi. I did a local test on Linux with gcc version 15.3.0 (SUSE Linux)  on my 
project.

The results:

Debug
             build time:       03:14
             test time:         00:09
             space on disk: 833.3 MiB

Release with -DECM_FORCE_ASSERTS=ON 
             build time:       05:52
             test time:         00:09
             space on disk: 120.3 MiB
