While I am not a compiler writer, I do have a fairly good understanding
of compiler mechanics.

I think the length and depth of your article pretty is just about
right and accordingly I found it sufficiently concise and succinct
in explaining the issues with C++ compilation speed that one does
not need much further explanation.

May I join others in looking forward to the part 2 follow-up on why
D compiles fast.
