In article <942@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu>, Moshe Braner asks about
MWC V2.0 compiler performance.  Here are some very informal numbers.
Configuration: compiler, editor, linker, temp files, and libc.a in ramdisk;
sources, #include files, objects, and gem/vdi libraries on disk.  (1040ST
with one floppy, 512K ramdisk).

Source file 18930 bytes, 728 lines (+ 5 #include files).

0:44	Compilation, detect syntax error, restart Microemacs
0:09	Microemacs reads source and error file and points to bad line.
1:21	Exit editor (after writing file) and successfully compile source.
2:08	Link the 8 object modules with the various libraries, writing
	a 32 Kbyte program.

While these numbers are greater than the "20 seconds for a small program"
Moshe reports, note that these numbers are for a large source file,
part of a large program.
