That very much depends on the trade-offs. If there are none: fine.  
However, if it requires to go back to a compiler design similar to  
that of 1.0.x (which probably was at least 5 times faster), then 8  
seconds would be a lot worse than 1min20. Maintainability,  
portability and extensibility of the compiler are a lot more  
important than compilation speed.
