RE: [GD-General] Compile times

>Out of curiousity, what's the general size of your codebase?

.cpp - 605 files, 4mb
.h   - 317 files, 1mb

That includes all our code (including support for 2 consoles).

The reason we have 1/2 the number of .h files is because our plugins for the 
editor only require a .cpp file per property page / utility plugin.  There 
would probably be 150 .h files if I didn't have to export our 'action' 
classes so the property pages could get to them as they're never included by 
anything other than a single, corresponding .cpp file in the game.

We're extremely data driven, using an action/value/event system instead of 
scripting -- but that includes all behaviors (save a couple FSMs in code) 
for the player, NPCs, GUI, triggers, cinematics, etc.

I did spend a while early on making sure dependencies wouldn't be an issue, 
and it seems to have paid off pretty well so far.
