Compiling is not important. It is done once during initialisation
phase of our module.
We have developed a solver (using CLP) for tariff optimisation task
(for a telecommunication company). The solver is based mainly on
element
constraint but there are also our global constraints specific to the problem
and a lot of binary and real-value variables. The code has approx 2,5K lines
of code divided into a few modules.

Exemplary timings:
Version:  5.10    6.0
              0.87s  1.58s
              0.13s  0.22s
              0.13s  0.22s

The times are averaged and the difference is statistically significant.
In both cases I used the same data and have not changed any
compilation flags.
I used 5.10#127 and 6.0#42 versions of ECLiPSe.

If you need any more details, please ask.

Best regards
