Just some things you forgot:

Lattice takes about 3 times longer (at least) to compile than MANX, with the
global optimizer turned off.

It takes about 10 times with the global optimizer on, and the global optimizer
induces many bugs.

A program I compiled that was 160K under MANX turned out to be 155 under
lattice with the global optimizer on, but it took much much much longer to
compile, and no longer worked.
