On which system do you have 28 seconds?  How fast were older gcc
releases on this system?

From my point of view, this is acceptable, as most code fragments do
not consist of a switch statement with thousands of cases.  It is
again now compilable within a realistic time frame, so I think at
least the priority can be reduced.

I don't know the common policy, so I cannot tell whether the bug
should be closed, but I think if someone expects a realistic chance to
get this time lower, the bug should not yet been closed to prevent
forgetting it.
