This quote is taken out of context. See the original source (from 2009) here.

Paul made the comment in reference to the VB6 IDE, not to compiled VB6 projects. The VB6 IDE is indeed very low-resource, and on modern hardware it provides excellent compile performance.

That said, the compiler is much less sophisticated than recent .NET iterations, and obviously the IDE is not nearly as powerful or as user-friendly as modern versions of Visual Studio. So it is what it is.

tl;dr - don't trot out this quote to defend VB6 projects. It's referencing the VB6 IDE, only.
