     These sound like comments which are pertinent to Lattice version 4.
Version 5 is much improved.  It offers precompiled header files, the
Lattice Compiler Companion (a suite of text and file management programs
including grep and LMK which is Lattice's name for their make program), and
a very nice source level debugger.

     I can't speak to the issues of speed and code size because I haven't
used the Manx compiler.  

     I've been very pleased with the Lattice compiler and the support
Lattice provides.
