A full bootstrap took 12h 38' on my machine (1.8Ghz G5) minus probably ~1h diverted for other tasks. Although I did not measured accurately this time before, it could be my fastest one. Most of the improvement from my original post comes from gnu/javax/swing/text/html/parser/HTML_401F.deps, for which the compile time went from over 100 minutes to below 10 (twice due to multilib). For all the other pieces of code the saving (if any) was clearly well below a factor 2. Does anyone understand what is so special to jc1 and HTML_401F in order to explain this order of magnitude?
