--- Comment #1 from Dennis Nezic <dennisn at dennisn.mooo.com> ---
Maybe the issue is that I only compiled it with "-O" ? Have you guys tested it with that? I remember the improvement from using no optimization flag to -O was HUGE (no optimization was completely unusable). So maybe I'm missing some other kinda essential optimizations that only happen with -O2 and -O3? (However, like I said, I really can't compile with -O2, I tried. I can just /barely/ manage with -O. Like I said, a few of the files take *over 6 hours* to compile, non-stop thrashing my swapspace, making my machine unuseable during that time.

Here's a recent site that has been performing especially poorly for me. When I try to login ("cra signin") to https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/account-individuals.html it takes over *80 seconds* to load, and when trying to enter my login name it can take *12+ seconds* between my keypress and having the letter show up in the input text box! Throughout this whole time my cpu is ~100%, burning my fingers. Memory usage is okay. What the hell is it doing? It's just a simple looking webpage with a username/password form!?!

By the way, how is it even possible for compilation to require more than, oh, 1 gig of memory?? The entire text of Encyclopedia Britannica is 1 gig!
