We use Boost quite heavy in our products, but they are build time killers. A comparable product which uses less Boost compiles twice as fast. Currently on my production quad core (a W3530 processor) it takes about 40 minutes. Note that we already use some of the more basic stuff in the pch. Common libraries as operators, variant, multi index and range can make ur compiler cry. Sometimes u have to use the pimpl idiom just to shield header includes from clients. I understand that this is unfortunate. Runtime performance stays more important ofc. Forum item just to inform u.
