A few days ago, I was wondering how much we could improve gfortran's compilation speed,
with the results shown, the answer seems to be 'not
much'.  my usual response when see in a gprof output
like this is to give up....  there will be a lot of
work for a couple of percent.
when i optimise, i like to see gains in the X 5 or  X
30 range, not in + 0.03 .   :):)

There's one well-known quadratic bottleneck, which is only relevant for legacy codes: the resoultion of labels and GOTOs, see PR 18937. I've never felt bothered enough to actually pull this through, but the gains could be quite significant for some users.
