Symbol evaluation was the speed bottleneck in the configurator for quite a while. Thanks to a reorganization of one of the central data structures, it's now down in the profiler noise. As a result, many operations like commits and file loading are now so fast that I've removed their twirly-baton progress indicators. The new slowdown king is the algebraic-simplification code for constraints. Greg Banks and I have been kicking around some ideas about common-subexpression elimination that might lead to big speedups here as well, but it's a complex change that might take a while. It's beginning to look like I might be able to remove the fastmode crock after the next round of tuning. -- Eric S.
