Another ways of improving compilation times:

D has fast compiler as reference implementation, leaving the hard work for gcc and llvm backends.

Eiffel uses a JIT for development, with AOT compilation via the C or C++ system compiler for production releases.

.NET Native, which now also supports F# (so H-N comes into play) takes advantage of MSIL, the development builds are a bit lightweight in optimizations and only the deployment via the store does the heavy crunching of optimizations, based on Visual C++ backend.
