Sure there is. Right now the compiler builds one java file at a time but there's
no reason why it can't behave like jikes and spit out class files as it digs
though dependencies. Also, no reason why it couldn't also treat an entire package
as a single compilation unit (this would also open up some simple optimizations,
ie inlining of package-private mthods). Java should reallybe much faster to
compile than C/C++... we don't have all those header files to deal with.
