We REALLY nead a NON-PCH build in JPRT NOW!

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Everyone,

FYI,

Did small benchmark for entire JDK clean build on my laptop
- linux-xfs, core I5, 8G, SSD, idle.

As expected, PCH doesn't really affects a clean build.

Numbers below:

** ccache,  no pch, no javac

Finished building Java(TM) for target 'default'
12079.395u 320.784s 58:20.54 354.2%     0+0k 0+0io 56pf+0w

** no ccache, pch, no javac

Finished building Java(TM) for target 'default'
12847.053u 340.212s 59:07.99 371.6%     0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w

** no ccache, no pch, no javac

Finished building Java(TM) for target 'default'
12493.502u 298.802s 54:36.23 390.4%     0+0k 0+0io 17pf+0w
