- I don't think gcc is that much slower but the amount of source is much more
- then you think.
-
- Just add up the size of all *src.lha archives and multiply by 3-4, complicate
- that with the fact that probably some things need to be regenerated, like a
- three stage build of GCC and probably of the other GNU compilers too. So the
- total amount of work is much more than just counting the number of
- sourcelines.
-
- If I turn on all optimalisations when using SAS and compiling for
- 040 then it gets reaaal slow far more then for example GCC. It also depends
- heavily on the type of source you compile.
-
- Anyhow maybe Fred will tell how much actually is compiled.
