I think Andrew was referring to reducing compilation times by using
precompiled headers.  Since headers tend to be more stable than
implementation code, such use will reduce recompilation time.

As far as removing unneeded headers, as far as I know that is a
manual, trial-and-error job that no one has as yet automated (but it
should be fairly easy to make a housekeeping script to do that).  Try
commenting out header include lines one at a time and test for
successful compilation.
