I spent some time digging around why builds were taking so long, and pinpointed it to DynamicEClass.getClazz(). I've attached an egl file as an example. When using an IBM JRE 1.6, I get results as follows (all times in milliseconds):

Time spent in getClazz(): 1430, total time creating IR: 1692

When switching to Sun 1.6, it's much faster:

Time spent in getClazz(): 28, total time creating IR: 306


It looks like the EGL_Location annotation goes through this code, and every element has this annotation, causing the function to be invoked many, many times. This is why I put so many dummy statements in the example file. The more statements you add, the bigger this gap between JREs.

This needs to be sped up - building a relatively small project can take a couple minutes.
