Borland's C compiler is currently the fastest (in compile times) on the
market.  I, for one, am interested in learning C++.  However, I agree with
your concern over loss of speed.  I have faith in Borland they will produce
an efficient compiler, and integrate the two well.  I don't know if it's
necessary to separate the programs, although it may be a viable alternative to
slow compilation.  We'll just have to wait and see.
