Is is just me, or is there a problem when compiling with the Output option to generate Browser Information?
If I compile without generating Browser Information, compile times are decent.

It's a large project, and waiting has become frustrating even for incremental builds.
I like to use browser information as it makes life easier when navigating code. Eclipse does an amazing job of indexing the source files (outside of compile time) for this purpose. I wish uVision would be the same.
Is there anything I can do speed things up?
Back when I was actively using Visual Studio, and with systems with lots of source files to open and object/browse files to create, AV software profoundly interfered with build time performance. Hyperthreading slowed down Platform Builder. Back in the RealView days, licence management was also a big hog.
But I've seen this complaint about Keil quite often, someone needs to review the hashing and generation algorithms for these browse files.
I generally prefer SCI Tools Understand as a means to manage and navigate large projects, and IDE's with autocomplete and syntax checking I find more annoying than helpful, but to each their own.
Hello All,
Has this issue been resolved?
I have several projects I am working with lately; the main one - the largest - is very slow. I have turned off browse info.
I have two other smaller projects - same settings regarding the IDE - they compile very fast. I thought this was a AV thing based on some of the search results - but that's not it.
Thanks, John W.
