If people used precompiled headers (which have been available for about 20 years) that problem wouldn't be there...
However I'm not sure that the parsing is such a bottleneck these days; I think all the complex constructs are a lot more of a time sink (templates etc). That and linking! Takes an hour to link the webkit library with the regular linker :-)

It's been a while since I tried precompiled headers, but the last time I tried it, the experience was unpleasant and error-prone.
