For DevMode I can't give any numbers but IMHO it feels faster to reload the app in DevMode. But don't expect a large difference. For compiling an app to JavaScript using the GWT compiler you do not gain that much from an SSD. Just compiled one of the larger apps and it has taken Workspace + tmp folders on HDD: ~270 seconds Workspace + tmp folders on SSD: ~260 seconds Workspace + tmp folders on RamDisk: ~245 seconds (does not include time to copy things into ram disk) So its not a big difference. During compilation the most benefit you get is when you can compile all your permutations at the same time. In the above example I used -localWorkers 4 on a Quad Core CPU with hyper threading. Increasing localWorkers to 8 to fully use hyper threading and get a constant 100% workload on each core/virtual core the time dropped to ~250 seconds in case of HDD. So make sure your build machine uses all cpu power available and then use distributed builds on multiple build machines if you have a large number of permutations. https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/DistributedBuilds -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
