This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard on this list.
(Both the 2sec compiler, and the 105MB program).  That aside, I mostly 
use Borland, because it builds *so* much faster (although looking now, 
I see I've still got OW 1.2).  

Can you please tell me what you envision doing that would legitimately
have 105MB of source code?  That all *needs* to be loaded at once?
