Yes, agreed. "Faster to compile" can also be interpreted as the time to compile the compiler itself, so rather than try to disambiguate in the title, I just went with the short version.

Oh I appreciate you were totally up-front with the numbers in the post, didn’t mean to imply otherwise. I just think “X is faster” when referring to compilers generally means the resulting executables are faster - maybe that’s just me :)

I use ‘faster’in that sense with my own compiler… https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50380978
