On my PIII800 a gazillion minutes of compiling GnuCash is spent running msgmerge, every friggin' time I recompile. Most of that time is spent merging .po files that haven't been updated in forever, whereas recently updated .po files merge very quickly.
The first thing we tell translators is to merge their .po file with the most recent gnucash.pot and start from there... so why can't one of us simply do this? I'm not suggesting we do this as a policy, but simply that we should do it occasionally when compile times start to get out of control.
That someone could be yours truly... I'll send a patch if people think it is a good idea.
PS: oh, and I think we should do this only to those files that haven't been updated in forever... like maybe the last 6 months?
