This is DEFINITELY TRUE!
For example, the Bliss11 compiler ACTUALLY ran faster with
optimization turned on because assembling the unoptimized code
actually took longer than the time running FULL optimization required
for anything but the most trivial programs.
Shall we take it as a given that nobody is going to check
in a patch for faster compilations without benchmarking
and making sure that it really does speed things up?
