While I don't mind worrying about the compile time numbers, it is probably way, way too early to be placing any value on MOPS numbers. We just barely got a compiler patched together with gum and tape before TPC and the code generated is t-t-t-terrible. Some of it is Sean's frontend and some is my backend. Toss in the fact that the VM still unoptimized in many areas and we basically have a LOT of work cut out for us. So lets archive these numbers, and see how much we can improve on them and not get too depressed. :) [Both the front and back end compilers are apt to be rewritten anyway] -Melvin
