If you haven't used REALbasic for three years, it's unclear to me what
you have to contribute on this. The new compiler is a huge advance.
The REALbasic language is much, much improved from version 4.

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.
