[comp.sys.next] Ojective C Compile Times

Hi,

     Just a quick Objective C preformance question: I've got a
set of C code to which I recently added an objective C module.
(to query font data actually.) The Objective C compile is SLOW!
(Really!) The compiler whips through normal C files twenty times
the length of the objective C module in a quarter the time. I'm
not including the whole appkit, just appkit/Font.h so I don't
think I'm abusing the preprocessor. What's up here? All the
compile flags are the same. Where is the time being spent?

Thanks!
Chris
