No, I recompile every 20 seconds when I'm fixing bugs.
True, my current project only has around 60 ml files.

I certainly HAVE worked on systems where compile time
was an issue. That is the point of the data above:
I know all about it.

My build system does have 'dependency analysis'.
Its a simple linear order. I find that is perfectly
acceptable. If I change the parser it's a small pain,
since it's at the head of the list :D

But there is very little choice. Ocamlopt requires
the linear ordering to transmit optimisation information
forward. So you can't just recompile modules based on
dependency on interfaces (as you can in C).

And I'm ecstatic! Ocaml is so fast!
