It's probably a good time to upgrade your computer. General advices: Using 2 hard drives definitely help. Disable your AV for the directories where you build. Most AVs act like jerks when linking an executable. May I add System Restore in this category. ;) Hint: disable System Restore on your D: drive. Defragmenting definitely help. Having a drive with *low seek time* definitely help. Having more memory helps. Not using Vista helps. :)
With the end result that linking takes a few seconds. M-A On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 6:05 PM, Daniel <[email protected]> wrote: > > How can I speed up building of chrome?
