Pity that in this rewrite, they were unable to speed up compilation speed. From the latest reports, dotty appears to compile at about the same speed (if not more slowly than) scalac.

Where did you get that from? I’ve seen performance increases of 2-3x mentioned on conference talks: eg here https://d-d.me/talks/scalaworld2015/ slide 50.

This is pure speculation on my part, but my guess would be that better, simpler foundations and a fresh start end up unlocking a lot of optimization opportunities in the long run. But it would seem foolish to invest too much in optimization while things are still in flux.
