Isn't LLVM being a piggy good? As in only pay a hefty computational time price once upfront to stuff as many optimizations as you can in your binary, and make it fast forever after.

It takes 21 minutes to build on a 32 core machine because it's so enormous. It's a that thing translates text into binary. I love compilers; I could go into a long, drawn-out technical explanation of what it does, but really, it's a monster of insane complexity than no one can grok anymore.
