Did you notice the same time behavior for both ocamlc.opt and 
ocamlopt.opt ? If yes, the problem comes during typing or 
pattern-matching compilation. If no, it comes from native code 
generation, probably register allocation (after inlining of small 
functions, some functions can become huge, with many variables 
interfering).

Benedikt Meurer submitted a linear scan allocator at some point, you 
might want to try to compile your file with his compiler to see if it 
goes faster.
