Re: Extremely long build times

What does your Compile dialog show? Are you getting any hints/warning?
I don't know about Delphi 2007, but in the previous versions of Delphi the compilation could get *exteremely* slow if you had many warnings/hints (thousands). It sure looks like Delphi was rebutiling the list of warnings/errors by setting the TStringList.Text rather than calling TStringList.Add.


Although we do get a lot of hints and warnings, they are not the culprit. We have compiled our project with hints and warnings generation disabled and it has made no difference.
