Surely Jonathan Worthington (or one of the other people who've worked on the compiler) would be in a better position to answer this sort of question.
Assuming that you write in a normal "interpreted-language" style, (i.e. gradually adding features, testing, and moving on to the next one, do you notice any sudden changes, or is the increase linear? That might provide clues to any weak spots. How large are the programs that invoke these long compiles?
