Hi all,
For those who don't know it yet:
A big improvement in gcc 4.0 :
"When compiling without optimizations (-O0), the C++ frontend is much
faster than in any previous versions of GCC. Independent testers have
measured speed-ups up to 25% in real-world production code, compared
to the 3.4 family (which was already the fastest version to date).
Upgrading from older versions might show even bigger improvements. "
