But what is the solution? We can complain about performance all we
want (and we all love to do this), but without a plan to fix it we're
just wasting effort. Shall we reject every patch that causes a slow
down? Hold up releases if they are slower than their predecessors?
Stop work on extensions, optimizations, and bug fixes until we get our
compile-time performance back to some predetermined level?
This usually happens at least for some people. Actually compile time
performance is a bug no matter which way we look at it so you are
going to introduce one bug for another, no thanks.
