True.

I do not remember your offering help with what was proposed by Nicholas. 
Which, incidentally, I agree to.

Hell yes. Umm, no. But you know what I mean, don't you? :)

You, for example?

PAR makes startup slower. Not the execution.

Anyway, "solution" to what? I think you're trying to solve a very 
different problem with the compiler than PAR addresses. Alas, most 
people trying to use the compiler are trying to solve a problem that PAR 
solves, too (and IMO better). That is, distribution and deployment, not 
optimization.
