Just out of curiosity, is scalac doing any work in parallel right now? I was wondering how one could take advantage of actors to that end. Would it require a major redesign of scalac? Which phases could take advantage of such a scheme (typer, maybe)?

Nothing's parallel yet. It would be fairly easy to have a parallel
build, but to parallize at a finer level is intriguing: challenging
but feasible.
