On Compile-time optimization, there are three main drivers for compile
time complexity with GCC and MSVC especially (I've heard reports that
clang is just wicked fast with template metaprogramming, but I've yet
to see it first hand):

  * Boost.Spirit (even if you use the specific headers)
  * Boost.Fusion (even if you use the specific headers)
  * Boost.MPL (for tests is being used, and even if you use the
specific headers)

We *can* do some things to make compile times a little more bearable
using a lot of different techniques but basically I personally have
given up already and am just waiting for the tools to evolve. ;) And
no, for the record I'm not considering going the other route of .cpp
files. :D

Maybe when the features list is shorter, we can think about optimizing
compile times of just cpp-netlib. Unfortunately we're too dependent on
Boost libraries that exercise your compilers' limits at the moment.
