Posting the compile times would be usefull.
Usually computers are benchmarked by the fps they can produce in doom3 or how long they take to rotate a .jpg in photoshop. I would be interested in how fast they are when synthesizing Minimig code :-D .
I recently moved from a P4 3GHz to an X2 5600+ and that made a huge difference (2-3 times faster) I will try to do some benchmarks tonight.
