gcc version 4.8.0 20120730 (experimental) (GCC) 
markus@x4 tmp % time c++ -c -o pch.hpp.gch
/usr/include/boost/math/special_functions.hpp
c++ -c -o pch.hpp.gch /usr/include/boost/math/special_functions.hpp  138.60s
user 0.38s system 99% cpu 2:19.87 total

Still a 98% compile time regression on todays trunk.
