Hi, I'd really love a faster GHC! I spend hours every day waiting for GHC, so any improvements would be most welcome.
I remember when developing Yhc on a really low powered computer, it had around 200 modules and loaded from scratch (with all the Prelude etc) in about 3 seconds on Hugs. ghc --make took about that long to start compiling the first file, and I think a complete compile was around 5 minutes. It's one of the main reasons I stuck with Hugs for so long. Running GHC in parallel with --make would be nice, but I find on Windows that the link time is the bottleneck for most projects.
