Was that bad in both per-package and per-module compilation, or
only per-package?
For most of the time, separate compilation was not possible at
all because of various closure bugs. When it became possible at
all it was a great relief. It was more intensive on CPU because
of duplicated work, but it helped the memory consumption, which
was an issue as 3+ Gb can make you swap pretty easily when you
have other programs open (browsers, all of you, I'm looking at
you. Do you have some kind of agreement with RAM manufacturer ?).
