Go compilation speeds will be up to 2x slower in Go 1.7 (groups.google.com)

Wow, they didn't have SSA in there yet? That's quite a surprise as, as far as I understand, SSA is pretty common nowadays in compiler techniques. Even for the MOSA compiler we had this.

Read the whole thing and stop spreading false rumors... "A week of low-hanging-fruit fixes by a few of us and SSA has improved to about 40% slower than tip. Progress.." https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-dev/TerfinvPffw/wvrEe...
