I for one would welcome having this info not as a 'message box' but rather as a status bar information (like ones you get on certain dynamic sites: this page was rendered in %d ms (options readout %d ms, render %d ms) ) (and an option to enable it or not, somewhere in Lazarus Tools). Or have just the timing of reading fpc options added into the Help->About Lazarus? (and so just the rendering of options timed on the compiler pages and reported on the status bar) My £0.02p. -L. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
