tcc is 8x faster, twice as fast isn't doing it justice.

As for the header thing, that'd could potentially be true if the compile time was something like 450ms -> 220ms, but why bother saying it when you're only saving a few hundred milliseconds

Going from 220 to 450 ms would be a disaster in my project. It has many thousands of files. Recompilation of almost everything happens from time to time.

If those made-up numbers were true, they would be very significant and an argument in favor of keeping the code in C

A 200ms difference is adding or removing 200lines lines of implementation, and spliting it up into a file can make it slower because of include overhead. You completely made up C being twice as fast as C++.
