---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Compiling `DynFlags` really takes a long time these days.
Ian thinks that it's due to the `Read` and `Show` instances he has added
(see attached `W2.hs`.
Simon M suggests: instead of using `Read/Show`, you could generate some
code in `mkDerivedConstants` to use `ReadP` and `Outputable`, which should
be much smaller and faster.
This ticket is
* To see if we can speed up compilation of `DynFlags`
* To check WHY it is so slow. Are there any lessons we can learn or ways
to make it compile faster? Is it tickling some asymptotically-bad corner
of the compiler?
