I have a  real 3 yorkshiremen (Python Monty) moment welling up here.

How many  remember compile times in hours!

Dont pick on the MACROs they  standardise code and reduce mistakes. The 
better option is to break the  code into separate source files 



Actually, I had done that already -- $INCLUDE files.
 
My issue is that by removing all my safeguards (optimize=1, validate,  
bounds, optfeatures etc) I am leaving myself wide open to disaster.
 
I'm not sure whether to keep them in or leave them out as the compile time  
was seriously reduced
without these options.
