I also found this frustrating but got used to it in the end. Out of
interest, what specifically causes this slow down? Something in the Unix

off using cygwin and found it painfully slow (on my PIII 600) but after
installing Debian, everything worked much faster and was more enjoyable.

So I just want to compile that single c file. For that purpose I added a
new target to the makefile in my build directory like this:
If you really want to venture down that road I wish you good luck but I
don't feel like spending much of _my_ time on it.
