First off, macros are not just an advanced feature. They are experimental. Investments in tooling will always focus on official features first (not to say we ignore macros, but we have to prioritize).

We spend a lot of time optimizing the compiler. Several big users have reported nice speed ups on 2.11. I won't quote numbers (too hard to benchmark accurately), but encourage you to give it a go. The upgrade is easy.

Also, it's just generally a good idea to design your software so that it can be compiled incrementally in smaller modules.

With 2.11 I have noticed the same speed up so thank you for all the current optimizations that have been happening.

Thanks, happy to hear it!
