I'm only a casual programmer, and I love the speed metric you've 
used. A 75% speed increase means that the new compiler will be 
75% through compiling a second equivalent program by the time the 
previous compiler finishes the first. It conjures images like the 
ones in the Mopar video you posted. That's amazing to me. Here's 
to burning rubber, Walter!
