Hi,

My understanding is that they are splitting the code 
to have different backend for the PowerPC and ARM.
There is some condegen for the RISK (from the TODO).

The web page (above) claim 8X faster than gcc -o0
(ie no optimisation) or 134000 lines/seconds
compare to gcc 3.2 -O0 15000 lines/seconds.

I found my self in the edit/compile/run loop when
debugging/tracing Oberon code. So reducing compile
time seem good while debugging. When that is done
its just a matter of switching to gcc -O9 :)
