for a build against one version of boost it is ~7s with all includes
scanned and it is reduced to ~3s when the boost is no-scan-include.

When the change is small (a few cpp files) it basically reduces the
time for the build with ~50%

The proportion is not so significant with other libraries. The only
other beast is QT. There the improvement is insignificantly better.

It does not seem so match, but once the feature is implemented it is a
pure improvement without any trade off.

Thank you for looking into this.

Thanks,
George
