[boost] Measuring compile time performance

Hi

We're looking at optimizing some of the compile time performance in Boost.Fusion. I'm looking for any experience in Boost of measuring build times / compile time cost, how to structure tests that cover it etc. Does Boost.Build provide any support for measuring compile time for example?

I'm aware there's a Perl script by Steven Watanabe that measures template instantiations if I understand correctly. Are there any other techniques that are being used that I should be aware of?

Cheers

Dan
