I think that even with zero seconds compilation time I wouldn't manage that. I've always been taught that the time between compilations is more important than compilation time, so a "thinking/debugging/edit/compile" cycle that fits into two minutes, concerns me. I used to work on systems with a 45 minutes build time between debugging runs, so we would have been in heaven with ten seconds! My small point is that focussing on losing ten seconds per compile may not be the place where you can make the most gains. Of course I might be wrong. Paul snip
