How practical would it be for eui to read .il files (say from a library) with the idea that some parsing time is saved?
Not very. The .il files are dumps of the symbol tree (which includes all of the code). So all of the references in the .il file only work for that particular file. You can't combine them.
There has been talk in the past about coming up with a more flexible way that would be similar to compiling a file to IL, then linking various IL files together. I think that would take quite a bit of work, and I'm not sure how much of a benefit it would be.
