	It depends on what hardware you are running, but yes, I would say that 
the link time for the LLVM tools is on the longer side.

	You could try to trim it down by building non-debug executables or by 
manually adding linker options to strip unnecessary symbols (if using 
GNU ld).  If these things speed it up, please let us know.

	Just out of curiousity, what sort of hardware are you using?
