I'm using MSVC.
I'll not argue the fact that the original system left something to be
desired, but I can't see how your experience can be possible.
Generally speaking, with the previous system, all c files for a lib were
compiled with the same invocation of cl (sure there are exeptions to that) -
with this system, it's all done 1 file at a time.
I have a 750gig raid 0 drive which gives decent throughput and I can set up
an e:drive by either using subst e: c:\drives\edrive or share that location
as 'edrive' and net use e: \\paul\edrive. (my development drive is e:)
When set up as a network share, speed drops because (I guess), the cacheing
no longer works the same as it does for a 'real' drive.
subst network
old makallvc clean/makallvc: 8min 45min
new make_vc clean: 13min 75min
The 'old' system is from may 26 2007 and certainly could be improved upon by
at least correcting the way the dll is built.
