Keil uVision increase build time

Hello,

I have a problem with compilation time with Keil uVision.

If I have enabled Debug info and Browse info, recompiling project takes very long time.
Comparing to other computers the same project on my computer takes more than twice longer.

My computer:
CPU: Inter CORE i7, 2.4GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Disk: 256 SSD

Comparing to friends computer with I3 and without SSD disk drive, my compilation takes about 2 times longer.

I'm sure there is some workaround to speed this up.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

  • My first guess would have been anti-virus software. The armcc.exe is run often and if it is checked every time it runs it is very significant (more than doubles the time to build). Very easy to have 2 different computers with different anti-virus settings. armcc.exe running only 5% of the time makes me wonder what else is going on. Make sure that you are showing CPU usage for all users and not just yourself.
