You mean the final Rosegarden binary?  It shouldn't be that big unless
you configure with --enable-debug, in which case a huge binary is
simply to be expected, I think.  The default configure for me results
in a binary of about 12Mb, which is much less distressing.  (It's
still a bit larger than the sum of the 1.7 GUI and sequencer binaries,
but then it includes the icons and other resources now.)

Probably -- if you can see a simple way to work them in as an option,
do go ahead.  I'm not convinced they're always a good thing, though --
they do speed up compilation substantially, but they make it much
easier to commit code that doesn't "properly" compile (by forgetting
to add necessary #includes for headers that are pulled in through PCH)
and possibly wasting more developer time overall.

Every time I've enabled PCH myself on a project, I've ended up
disabling it again after finding I'd been committing code that
shouldn't have compiled.
