Anyways, before this ends in an endless discussion: if anybody is
interested in improving FPC compilation speed (for my needs is
sufficient) and have a look at fillchar and, have a look at FPC's unit
loading algorithm (not the actual i/o itself but how all the symbols
classes etc. are restored). This two points are bottlenecks which might
help when they are improved, though it's pretty unlikely that this will
improve things more than a few percent.
