You can circumnavigate the world via ocean with a stopwatch and a
compass! ;-)
(Not that I'd want to try that. Throw in a sextant and some training on
how to use it properly and I'd be happier. Give me a GPS and let the
GPS do the same math in reverse, and I'd be ecstatic! GRIN...)
Let's gain a little perspective... if you can't easily see the
difference on a stopwatch, even a badly run one, all that extra
re-compiling isn't doing you as much good as you think it is! :-)
Should be in the order of many seconds difference in time to make the
lost time/productivity of re-compiling worth it.
