> The "Scala is slow to compile" meme needs to die in a fire.

Martin Odersky has commented many times [1] that scalac won't be as fast as javac. The only link I could find right now is http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3490383/java-compile-spee... which is rather old; but I remember watching more recent videos (< 2 years old) where he makes the same points.

SBT uses incremental compilation. That might account for the difference observed by parent (on incremental builds only)?
