Benchmarking build times

The most recently update is 5 months ago, but most entries are 
one year old. So they are not updated. I update the site 
frequently (perhaps I updated 200-300 entries for 2.066).

Some entries are infinite loops, some load external libraries, 
some can't even compile, some entries use lot of memory to 
compile, and so on. You will have to comb every program. And most 
programs contain templates, so if you don't add their main 
function, nothing gets compiled.
