I have a new Core2 WinXP SP3 machine (Dell E7400, 3GB RAM) with uVision2 installed on it. My new work has an application that needs to be built using a few batch scripts to compile the whole project. Using my new pc it takes about 19 minutes to perform all the compiling tasks. I decided to see if there was any way to improve performance as my collegue only takes 12 minutes to compile the same project on a slower P4 pc. I created a WinXP SP3 Virtual Machine for testing and I installed Keil there to see how long the build would take. On the VM it took 7 minutes to compile the whole project! Can anyone help me improve the performance of uVision2!? Seems crazy that my VM is more than twice as fast as my standard environment. I don't want to have to switch between the two the whole time, otherwise I may as well work out of the VM the whole time. Is there a way to force uVision to only use 1 core as it seems to work better...
