i experience slower compile times with VC++ 2003 compared to VC+6.0.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Should that be expected?
This ineed matters, when total compilation time is > 1h and you have to wait
10-50% longer...
I think the idea is that you are likely to have a build computer up to
5X as fast as that which was available when VC6 was first released (in
1998) so a 50% increase in compile times shouldn't affect you too much.
The improvements in the VC7.1 compiler (in terms of conformance,
optimization, possibly flexibility and maintainability, etc.) probably
account for the slower compiles.
Some switches obviously increase compile times (for example, whole
program optimization).
