Keep up the good work. > Julian, there was nothing in your question that could possibly offend me. I do not take comments about GCC suckage personally. Yes, GCC 3.3 compilation speed is likely to suffer a bit compared to 3.2, although the change should be pretty minimal. There are examples where GCC 3.3 even beats 3.2 in compilation speed, but I would not keep much hope :) The GCC folks have started to take compilation speed seriously in 3.4 branch, we'll see if changed attitude will make a difference in their next major release. For now I am pretty happy that a newer compiler did not overflow boot2 block. This is nice compared with a stable trend demonstrated by _all_ previous releases. -- Alexander Kabaev
