Compilation time mostly, but it is compiling everything from 
scratch every time in this video. I have already factored it out 
into a backend lib and a frontend in order to speed up 
compilation, but I cannot remember if that actually speeds up 
anything. Will have to check. Serialization time is not noticable.

Haven't heard of it before. Will definitely check it out. I'm 
used to emacs keybindings myself.

Seems like a good topic yes. Will put it on the list.

yes, I see that the youtube quality is quite bad. The uploaded 
version was perfectly fine so I wonder what went wrong.

I have grown a bit attached to the name now working on it for 
quite a while I must admit.
