Plan 9 compilers are fast, Unix compilers are slow. Plan 9 compilers
compile less because the philosophy regarding #include files is
different. Plan 9 programs (including the kernel) are small, Unix
programs are large.
The Plan 9 kernel has less lines of code than Unix configure scripts.
The question is not why does Plan 9 compile so quickly, is what
catastrophe happened in Unix making everything so slow and large.
