    Whereas this is very impressive, I feel “faster than” should be called out as “faster to compile than”. It’s generated code seems “on a par with”.

      Yes, agreed. "Faster to compile" can also be interpreted as the time to compile the compiler itself, so rather than try to disambiguate in the title, I just went with the short version.

      The breakdown is roughly:

      * Compiling a TU (Unoptimized): ~2.5x

      * Compiling a TU (Optimized): ~4x

      * Generated Code Speed (Unoptimized): ~1.01x

      * Generated Code Speed (Optimized): 0.99x
