I'd bet that this has nothing to do with the Rb IDE being

4x speed loss in compile speed is pretty substantial no matter
what the cause. I'm not sure virtual function calls are worth
that big a price, if that's the actual cause.
Never checked the performance of virtuals against non-virtuals, but I
wonder, if virtuals might have such a big impact.
Moreover: As Norman pointed out, the Compiler is still C++ Code.
Thus,
I wonder even more, why compile times got that slow.
Perhaps there is now more overhead in preparing the source code for
compilation. Guess early and often; that's my plan.
The IDE is also substantially more responsive while compiling source
code; you can move around windows, change tabs, etc. while compiling.
In RB 5.5, that was impossible. Needless to say, that takes a toll on
performance.
