I have a coleague working in the area of CAD, who is interested in
what kind of difference it would make if a CAD run took 2 hours, or 15
minutes, instead of the current 8-12 hours. He thought (and I agree)
that there ought to be a parallel to how long it takes to compile a
program. They are in the equivalent of the era where we submitted a
card deck and waited a day for turn around.
Does anyone know of studies about what changes when compiles
drastically change the amount of time they take? I vaguely remember
some data that suggested that people worked very hard to get the
errors out by hand (even hand simulating the program before they
submitted it) when turn around was hours, but when the turn around
improved, they got more sloppy, but I don't know of any other work in
this area. Any pointers?
