I agree with the above comment, but you've completely missed my point. With gcc-3.4.3, I can `make bootstrap' with --enable-languages=c and it takes 7:25. With gcc-4.0, I do the same and it takes 14:50, exactly double the time! This is with --disable-checking. The only thing I haven't checked yet is how much difference it makes if I override STAGE1_CHECKING to be "". I'll report back on that when I get more time. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19223
