Calculating at compile time is still obviously computation! Obviously, if you can, it is better to do so most of the time, but it is also irrelevant to the point. This isn’t something that simply takes a long time to calculate, but if you run it for a few hours or days when creating the program it can be recorded. You cannot, in fact, calculate this beforehand because it is computationally infeasible. (In some cases, where the heuristics mentioned earlier work well enough, it can be computed, but that relies on the structure of the problem, and still requires a lot of computation.)
Obviously, we are just talking past each other, so I’ll stop responding here.
