Really? I'm somewhat surprised to hear that. It means that either most 
of the time in recompilation doesn't go where I think it goes or that 
SystemEditor does things very differently from ClassBuilder. Either way 
I always take a 6x-8x speedup when I can get one - where do I find 
SystemEditor to run a few benchmarks against it?
