Ahh just what I thought - because I've always found the compiler fast, just the
linker is
slow.
I wonder what specific parts of the linker cause slow down. The object file
format is slow
and ineffecient, or just the code that runs the linker is not optimized?
The linker is slow on windows. Why, I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the
pecoff
standard.
The linker used is the cygwin version, maybe using the MingW one could
improve performance since the later doesn't emulate the posix enviroment
