a WEEK of compile time on the 486!!!

Gads, on my thinkpad, which is not such a fast 486 since it lacks an L2
cache, I figure I could compile 15 million lines of Ada using GNAT in a
week, and that's using the crippled version of GNAT with all the debugging
checks (the only version we distribute right now!) Just how big is this
system anyway?
