Am I the only QGIS dev highly frustrated by the bottleneck

to improve that?</blockquote>

<div>I used to be quite frustrated when sip4 support was
dropped, as sip-build times were really terrible with sip
6 at the time.</div>
<div>After David's fixes in Oct/Nov 2025 though, things are
back to normal. With sip-tools v6.15+ I don't think
sip-build is a bottleneck any more for me.</div>

<p>Thanks for the hint. That does improve things (sip-build time)
indeed. For posterity, I managed to use it without altering too
much my build env with:</p>
<p>python3 -m venv sip_venv<br>
source sip_venv/bin/activate<br>
pip install sip PyQt-builder<br>
cmake -USIP_BUILD_EXECUTABLE ..</p>
