The firefox1.0.7 source tarball is ~30MB in compressed form. It  
contains 5783 C and C++ files, containing 2972784 lines of code[0].  
I'm only guessing here, of course, but I'd say that will take some  
time to compile. It is possible, of course, that so much javascript  
and XML is part of this that the numbers I have quoted amounts to  
very little in comparison, but I'd be surprised.

Yes, I think you are.

[0] - found like this:
     (find -type f -name '*.c' ; find -type f -name '*.cpp') | xargs  
wc -l | awk '/total/ { sum += $1 } END { print sum }'
