Hello,

   I use AS for generating object files where time is
critical.
I mean I have to speed up gas as much as possible. As for
input I give AS
very big .asm files with size more than 200mb. so it works
very slow. I
tried to cut input file to several small .asm files - AS
became work more
faster but in general AS work very slow. How can I speed up
it ? What kind
of weak points can I find and fix ?

P.S. Where can I get whole description of AS architecture?
for instance I have
descriptinon for lcc compilator - "A retargetable C
compiler: design and implementation"

Thank you, Stanislav
