Re: [lazarus] Lazarus 0.9.18 and compilation speed (what does it look for?)

[Alex Smirnov]

Peter Vreman Sorry for that, but, I think you are not right. So, when I try to make some compilation using make file - it will be more faster :-) - it will NOT search system.ppu for 23 times. I can create make file for my project and calculate the time needed to make all of it - both with Lazarus IDE and with simple "make all" There is a big difference with what the compiler needs to do and what you want. See the 'my project' in your paragraph. This is not the case for the compiler. The compiler needs to working in general for everybody. It can be that this is maybe not the optimimal issue for your specific situation. My situation is typical. I have typical and almost small project (658 lines to compile). And it takes Lazarus 111 sec. to compile this 658 lines! So it goes like 6 lines per second! :-)  Extremely fast on my Pentium 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM! Also Lazarus tries to search something for 23669 times. And only for 383 times with successful result! Thus I think that all this 111 seconds is almost wasting time that was spent in FindFirst/FindNext circle. Regards, Alexey.
