Yesterday I was asked whether the use of precompiled headers had any

huge. I compiled sw/ with

     make -sr -j8

on a i7 s2720 (2.2GHz), 8GB Ram laptop.
One important addition: precompiled headers are only supported on
Windows (my experiment took place on Windows7).  I guess the other
systems are fast enough without precompiled headers.

Also, I'm not an expert, but I think that there's a difference for
release artifacts whether or not you compile with PCH.  I know that the
chromium project, for example, recommends PCH for debug builds, but for
final releases, removing PCH is a big part of the optimizations...

Good to know.  Do you have any pointers?
