Just to throw it out there, maybe some of this could be controlled with a BOOST_CPP_NETLIB_COMPILE_FAST macro, enabling it to be optional. > Now there are still a lot of other things I can do to start reducing > compile-times.

Pre-compiled headers seem like they are going to be a mess, and conceptually similar to going to a non-header-only implementation. I like the idea of header-only, but maybe a more library-based one would help the compile time. > Has anyone played around with CMake and how to make precompiled > headers part of the build process?
