The --incremental feature tries to use the incremental compilation mode of
the Flex compiler. Unfortunately, that is only the second phase of the
compiler, and the first half of the compilation, the LZX preprocessor and
javascript->actionscript phase still takes about half the time, and does not
operate incrementally.
There is a slight speedup you might be able to get by keeping the Flex
compiler resident in memory; there is a customized version of the Flex
compiler shell (fcsh) that is bundled into the LPS distribution, which lets
you run the compiler repeatedly in the same JVM, from the command line.
Example usage
we have a modified version of the flex fcsh command line compiler, which can
invoke the lzc compiler.
When I recompile the app it seems to run the compilation much faster:
the first compile is done with the 'lzc' command, and subsequent recompiles
are done via the 'lcompile 1' command.
maybe you can try this to see if it works for you. The app will be a SOLO
(non proxied) ap.
