Comment (by bgamari):

 > The perf results don't look very promising for this branch.

 Perhaps, but I'm not sure whether this is really all due to
 `prettyprinter`. Afterall, we also now build `text` as well. Really the
 branch needs to be rebased before we can really say much about its
 compilation time impact.
