You might want to check out Absoft Fortran.  It compiles a lot faster than
Prospero, although the resulting code is not as good.  My times are
- 20 sec to compile a 20-30K file
- 20 sec to link with 25 others to a 500K program (using my own linker)
- 20 sec to find out what went wrong this time 'round
That is a LOT faster than on our mainframe.
