Thanks folks for all your replies. Here are details from me:
1) I have a fragment which I compile once; This fragment has locale
independent components
2) I have WXS which has ref-ed the fragment and has locale dependant
component. This is compiled multiple times (multiplicity is the number of
languages our product suppors); For every compilation, we link wixobjs from
step1 and step2
My only worry is generating once Vs multiple times. The perf in my mail comes
from the frequency of execution than the order of execution. Also thanks for
the answers and helping me understand the genuine reason in generating at link
time.
Thanks,
Laxmi

2) The GUID is pretty much stable (rather same) across all MSI where a
fragment (locale independent) is used. However, I still think that for
performance reasons, the GUID getting generated at compile time is better.
Don't know with whom I can discuss this and understand more why it is generated
at link time if there is any genuine reason.
Why do you think it's faster to generate at compile time? The reason the GUIDs
are generated at bind time is that only at bind time is there all the
information needed to generate the GUID. Generating stable component relies on
hashing the path, which is usually not known at compile time.
