You know, I keep hearing this criticism. I have no idea where it comes from.

I can tell you in no uncertain words that a project the size we're 
working on would compile in considerably less time had it been written 
in C++.

If you are only referring to small projects, then compilation time isn't 
a major issue one way or the other.
