Thanks. On my server I'm running gcc 4.1.2, and 3.4.4 on my PC, which might explain the difference in compilation time.

I was reading about precompiling headers possibly being a way to speed up compilation. Would that work in this case, and which ones should I precompile?

As I recall, but do not quote me on this, precompiled headers do not help when templates are involved and can actually hurt. PCH's are wonderful for non-template headers with thousands of forward declared functions though.
