After compiling `tests-main.cpp` once, it is enough to link it with separately compiled `tests-factorial.cpp`. This means that adding more tests to `tests-factorial.cpp`, will not result in recompiling Catch's main and the resulting compilation times will decrease substantially.
```
$ g++ tests-main.cpp -c
$ g++ tests-main.o tests-factorial.cpp -o tests && ./tests -r compact
Passed 1 test case with 4 assertions.
```
Now, the next time we change the file `tests-factorial.cpp` (say we add `REQUIRE( Factorial(0) == 1)`), it is enough to recompile the tests instead of recompiling main as well:
```
$ g++ tests-main.o tests-factorial.cpp -o tests
$ g++ tests-main.o tests-factorial.cpp -o tests && ./tests -r compact
tests-factorial.cpp:11: failed: Factorial(0) == 1 for: 0 == 1
Failed 1 test case, failed 1 assertion.
```
