You may find that recent snapshot builds from swift.org <http://swift.org/> help with your build times even without enabling -Owholemodule. The redundant type checking of synthesized accessors which we talked about a month or two should now be fixed on master, and it would be great to verify that’s the case with your code and to get an idea of how much it improves your build times.

In our project, the speedup feels quite dramatic, but when it gets to the linking step (after compiling both Swift and Obj-C in the project) it fails because ld can't find the individual object files that normally get emitted during the debug-type build presumably because -whole-module-optimization only emits one (and this isn't a normal "-Owholemodule"-type build which works fine).
