I regularly work with a one-million line C++ program that takes about
six hours to compile on a '486/33 with SCO Unix and the GNU C++ compiler.

LOC are counted with 'wc'.
Few, if any templates are used.
Optimizations are used.
Generated code is not counted.

Of course, this statistic, like many of the others given here are quite
silly.
