I started to work on a script to merge the local smgl settings, 
grimoires used, the list of installed spell and the activity log in to a 
file. You may like to run the attached perl script and send me your 
profile. This file was then sent to me which I used to generate the 
summary page below:

http://www.esc.auckland.ac.nz/People/Students/Malcolm/sourcemage/profile_summary.html 


The idea was that this would be used if the user chose the reporting 
smgl feature this would automatically report these statistic to a 
database everytime the user, say, did a scribe update or sorcery update.

I've put this on hold for a few weeks for two reasons: busy and because 
the Prometheus (tinderbox) reporting is very similar. Once Prometheus is 
established we can add this feature.

You can get an idea of the compile times with some smart parsing of the 
activity log.
