From Stephen Turnbull, about compilation times for Ghostscript:
> System #1 System #2
> Beta #1 2 hr 45 min* 16 hr*
> Beta #2 2 hr 10 min 9 hr 13 min
> Beta #3 2 hr 25 min 9 hr 32 min
And this with 50 MHz 486 machines...
I cant't imagine what a compiler is doing when it takes so much
time to compile something. Some gross inefficiency is evident.
My approach in developing programs to be compiled with djgpp
(or any other C compiler... All are too inefficient) is to develop
everything in Turbo Pascal and then translate to C when only small
details are missing. It is faster...
