This is bit an exaggeration right? We're talking about the speed 
of a human blink.

I can't see a great difference between 1 sec vs 100 ms "while 
working". Of course someone could say if you did 10 consecutive 
compilations, then 10 x 100ms = 1 sec while in the other case 
would be 10 seconds, but this is extreme, you usually take a time 
change code and compile.

But overall I couldn't be bothered at all.

Now imagine waiting ~40 seconds just to open any solution on 
Visual Studio (Mostly used for projects where I work), on a NOT 
so old machine, and like 4 ~ 10 seconds every time you run an app 
while debugging.

That's is the meaning of pain.

Matheus.
