good story. it's hard to know when to rewrite. gcc itself has several files that take ~20s to compile on my machine. what is the plan for getting them to compile in < 1s? also, suppose you have n source files. and suppose you also just happen to have n+1 processors. what's the plan for coordinating them in sub O(n) time? what's the plan for a fs to keep up? heck, linux boot time is bottlenecked not by processor speed but by lowly random disk i/o. - erik
