It's also worth noting that our Cocoa.h is a LOT smaller than
Apple's. The output from gcc -E on a simple .m file that just
contains the line #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> is around 800KB on GNUstep
and over 3MB with Cocoa.
How interesting. :-)
That suggests processing the headers in Cocoa would take almost 4x
what it takes on GNUstep (all other things being equal),
and so a precompiled header would indeed have a much larger effect on
an Apple build.
That would explain why Apple developers are so keen on it. I couldn't
really figure out why they are so keen on precompiled headers
because when I tried them on GNUstep it was so hard to get any big
performance speedups out of them. ;-)
Thanks
