Hi Jean, From my experience, generating an application is a very CPU intense operation. So the main bottleneck is CPU speed, not disk IO. Since you already put the files on a ram disk, I guess the CPU is the only place left to search for improvements. Without changing the generator, that is. ;)
However, why do you need to generate a build that often? Normally, during development you can generate the source version, which compiles quite fast.
