I think for the short term, we could make batch-byte-compile set a flag
which reverts to the previous behavior of just printing line numbers.
The previous behavior printed *incorrect* line numbers; going back
there does not seem very good. I think we should make this work
better.
Someone said that turning this feature off does not bring back the old
speed. I wonder if turning it off really turns off the whole
mechanism. Did anyone check what the code says?
Treating the code as a black box is unlikely to solve this. That's a
futile approach to any bug, almost a waste of time. What we need is
some real debugging. Would someone like to study the actual changes
and what they do that might cause a slowdown? Would someone like to
profile the new version and see where this time is spent?
