To find out which parts of your code are causing issues add `-Xfrontend -debug-time-function-bodies` in "Other Swift Flags".
When building Xcode will print the compile times of functions in the build log.

The main culprits seem to be the `*`, `inverse` and `determinant` functions of `Matrix3x3` and `Matrix4x4` where type inference probably runs amok. Breaking these calculation up into smaller statements should drastically reduce the compile times.
