looking forward to seeing (reading about) how fast it is.

According to Odersky's recent talk [1, 2] it's about twice as fast as the current Scala compiler and should still improve significantly.

For anybody curious, I think he's hinting at modern effect systems, on which there's lots of research these days. He advised for instance Lukas Rytz PhD thesis at EPFL (and Lukas Rytz is still working on Scala, now at Lightbend).
