What does this mean? Going from (1) to (2) gives 22% saving in absolute build time. Meanwhile, the build system overhead (time not spent inside gcc, ar, ld) went from 38% of the total build time down to 17%. That's not yet the 5% which Bob once decreed as goal, but also it's not too far away any more. I think we can be pretty proud of being able to cut 65% off the build system overhead. :-)
That is a quite spectacular improvement. No more need for 'dolt', 'daft', or any of its kin. Now we just need to convince major slow-moving projects to use it. Spread the word!
I suspect that the 5% which Bob once rashly decreed as goal may be achieved by increasing the compilation optimization level.
