Well I do seem to remember lots of promises from RS staff about what
the new compiler would do...

Okay, I haven't used Rb for about 3 years, but I seem to remember
the whole point of migrating to Rb MwRb and the new compiler was to:
1) Speed things up
2) Reduce compiled sizes (we've been promised this since the year
dot ! )
no, the only reason they ever gave was 1. they'd be subject to the
same bugs/annoyances we are, and 2. any advances they make in the
IDE like speeding it up, will likely result in the same advances
for our apps. so when they get around to adding compiler
optimizations so the IDE runs faster, our apps will run faster as
well. when they make the IDE a Universal Binary, we will be able
to compiler UBs too.
there were many "advances" thrown around on this list, but they
were all wild speculation.
