Awesome!!  Thanks to everyone in the LDC team who made this release

Tested this on one of my projects yesterday. For -O3, it reduced compile
time by about ~26%.  For -O, it reduced compile time by about 24%.  Not
as much as I'd hoped, but still pretty big reductions.

For non-optimized builds, it reduced compile times by only 1-2% (pretty
insignificant).
