When searching through Google for GCC tips, I found those and already read 'em. Yes, we know, GCC ain't Delphi. And it's actually the tree RTL backend optimizer (or whatever) that now seems to be the main slowdown (the whole advantage of 4.x over 3.x). Try compiling with "-Q -v" if you're curious.

Anyways, speaking of faster compiles (even though it isn't DOS-oriented), there's always TCC (recently updated to 0.9.24 in April, but I didn't notice until today, go figure). The Win32 port is even smaller now! Granted, it's C only (and needs MSVCRT, blech), but it's still very cool.
