Yeehaa! :-) Love it. (and sorry for the belated response; yesterday was 
spent in a world-wide rolling server upgrade that kept me busy for most 
of the day)

Let's benchmark it:

StandardFileStream allSubInstancesDo:[:sfs| sfs disableReadBuffering].
t1 := [Object compileAll] timeToRun.
StandardFileStream allSubInstancesDo:[:sfs| sfs enableReadBuffering].
t2 := [Object compileAll] timeToRun.
{t1. t2}

=> #(1004 535)

In other words we just sped up recompilation by oh, a mere factor of two 
(YMMV, due to OS differences, caching behavior etc). This should be 
noticable in a variety of conditions including reshaping classes, change 
list operations etc.

Great job!
