I'm searching for references on producing very fast compilers.
Any paper describing the production of a fast compiler or fast
compiler component (e.g., scanner, parser, code generator) is
of interest. I've included below the papers I've been able to
find through a couple of stabs at bibtex databases. I'd be
interested in additional papers --- undoubtedly, I've missed
some.


Please email me any (bibtex,refer) entries that address this
topic. I will post whatever I gather.


Thanks,
Todd Proebsting
