Re: Do you want a faster gmmproc?

Yes, I think a binary file with the info from the defs and xml files is
the best way to speed up gmmproc. It's too complicated to combine a
many-files-per-invocation version of gmmproc with concurrent jobs, run
by make. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646820#c1
