Oh, you can't imagine what a few ten-thousand times power-cycling
does to your motivation for making the boot a little faster ;-)

probably be made configurable.

There are basically two places where I expect a potential for
optimization: the identifier lookup and identification of the
various tokens. Identifier lookups use a linear list, so the
run-time per compilation is O(n^2). Both use strcmp quite
extensively, which can't be good. But I don't know yet just how
bad it is.
