[mercury-users] compilation time

[Ralph Becket]

I'm not an expert on the internals of the compiler, but it
would help to know 
* what sort of machine you're running the compiler on and 
  how heavily loaded it is,
* whether your program makes substantial use of overloading,
* what optimisations you have turned on, if any,
* what version of the compiler you're running,
* whether the time is being spent in mmc or mgnuc,
etc. etc.

Subjectively, 0.9.1 seems to be a bit faster to me.  I've
just compiled a 1500 line program; it took 53s using
--debug and 33s using asm_fast.gc.tr.  My machine is
a fairly serious (4-500 MHz) PII or PIII with 128MB, under
light load, running Windows 2000.

Cheers,

Ralph
