Uh, well. I measured the same and _thought_ I've gotten something 
totally wrong. Might be that it's just not speeding up certain versions 
of gcc then? Or, the other way round, did you try it on OS X with 
Apple's gcc to exclude that possibility?

Basically I'd think that supporting precompiled headers is really just 
a matter of adding a prefix header variable and precompile the header 
in that variable before starting the real build process. I might be off 
here, but I guess that's really all there is to do.

Cheers,
