The C51 v4.01 compiler (launched from a third party product) is taking 15 to 20 minutes!!! to compile my code under NT and 2000, when on our old 98 platform it takes less than 2 minutes. Im sure nt/2000 dosent slow down 16 bit apps THAT much!?? We have to use 4.01 because it is a third party linker and target device which only supports this version of the compiler. Any ideas to speed things up?
Yes I did finally get it sorted. As it turned out it was the checking of the security dongle that was causing the slow downs.
