Quick explain, meson requires all files to be explicitly listed, it doesn't search to see whats in the directories the way make does. Its how meson gets its speed since it doesn't need to rebuild the ninja files every time. Not a lot of impact with Geany, but huge with things like chromium or llvm etc.
Sorry, I have to bust that myth.
I would expect that an optimized, i.e. non-recursive, as realized with my kmake system, Make build is about the same speed that ninja builds. make can be blazing fast if used properly, i.e. almost all CPU time is measurably used by the compiler.
meson is much faster than autoconf, that's true for sure.
