c++.wxwindows - Release build / dmc speed

I just did the bakefile editing and re-gen jig necessary for compiling 
wx 2.8.4 with dmc in release mode.

Oh ... my ... goodness.
Is it supposed to take *that* long?
I killed my compile midstream numerous times because I thought it had 
gone into an infinite loop (as optlink sometimes does).
The aui sample took at least 5 full minutes to compile & link.  Is that 
normal?

The default debug config took nowhere near that much time.  Maybe a few 
seconds to link the aui sample.

I've got dmc "8.42n" and optlink 8.00.1. on Win XP.

I timed the release-unicode build. 14 minutes 10 seconds, almost all spent on this compile command: C:\usr\pkg\wxWidgets\wxMSW-2.8.4\samples\aui>make -f makefile.dmc dmc -mn -c -cpp -odmc_mswu\auidemo_auidemo.obj -o -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 -D__WXMSW__ -D_UNICODE -I.\..\..\lib\dmc_lib\mswu -I.\..\..\include -w- -I. -WA -I.\..\..\samples -DNOPCH -Ar -Ae .\auidemo.cpp Once past that the resource compile (rcc) and final link steps happen almost instantly. --bb

I am pretty sure that compile command line activates the optimizer and 
yes, when the optimizer is activated things can take rather long and in 
the end you get rather small and fast code... ;-)
