Actually for my taste, you have to get a MUCH bigger factor in compile
time before you can call yourself a fast compiler (Realia COBOL by
comparison compiles millions of lines a minute of code on current
PC's, using just one core).
Heh, you always bring up the Realia compiler when there's a compile
time discussion. Must have been a really impressive piece of work,
that it was so fast :-)
It was fast, I used it for my first summer job, and spent some time
looking at its output too. :-)
And actually I'm impressed especially because it wasn't (as far as I
remember) an optimizing compiler, yet it was written in itself _and_ so
fast.
