Indeed.  I thought voodoo to somehow prevent this, however :)

Compile time.  Particularly, a socket client (using ASIO) which 
serializes many objects.  When working on the communications client, 
each compile would take forever because of all the template 
instantiations of the serialized classes.

Thanks for helping clear all this up for me.
