What exactly is 'slower'? Compiling, or compiled code? The former, is less
of an issue unless doing image reworks. (Installing veiny packages, for
example)

The new compiler sounds like a step forward by many measures.  The
performance issue needs to be quantified more.  When you say it is
slower, is it 5% slower? That would be tolerable.  If it is 20% slower
it might not be tolerable.  If it breaks eToys, I would think you will
need to get an estimate from them for what is required to deal with
this.
