And for comparison, here's the result when using Cog:

  #(701 253)

So Cog basically speeds up the compilation itself by 2x but can't do 
anything about the speed of file operations; as a consequence the 
speedup w/o read buffering is a mere 20-30%; with read buffering it's 
2x; together it's a 4x improvement. Not too shabby...
