Visual studio an gcc can precompile include files. Gcc use is common
for c++ compilation, because c++ header parsing is much slower than C.
I think you can get some nfo about this looking for gentoo kde ricers ;)

Which is kind of insane.

I don't know about that, my Amiga compiler (SAS/C) could "precompile"
headerfiles, and they could be kept resident in RAM until next
compile. Even when loading all includes from disk was slow, having one
headerfile with all the includes would speed up things when this
method was in use.
Still. I've never seen the includefile parsing as a bottleneck,
compared to actually optimizing the code.
