IMO compiler messages slow down compilation a lot.

How do you know this, did you benchmark or is it just your opinion?

Common knowledge, proved by experience.

Sounds reasonable to me, but wether it will speed up compilation is another question. Anyway, simply write a patch,

It's not a matter of an "simple" patch :-(

The message ID has to be re-encoded in a way, that allows to determine e.g. the message level immediately. All this currently is done only after text substitution, by inspection of the returned string.

could be a nice excercise to get started with compiler development.

How is message encoding and composition related to compiler development?
