compile speed/options?

[TerryRitchie]

I got the itch to do some Basic again and found out about the split and decided to follow along with QB64PE. I'm on Windows 11 and on both a rather old laptop (Thinkpad T480 but 8th gen i5) and a very new AMD system the compiler seems slower than I remember on my old desktop.

I suspect it's the compiler start up time since I don't notice a difference between very small programs and larger samples I've downloaded, so there may be nothing I can do but felt I should ask. Searching didn't turn up anything.

Thanks.

If you share some code we can compare compile times. The first is always really slow but I doubt you only tried once.

There are some compiler options under Options Menu of IDE but they tend to take longer for faster running exes.

Welcome to forum!

As bplus pointed out the first compile usually takes much longer than subsequent compiles. I'm on a 6th gen i7 so your compile times are probably faster than mine and I'm very happy with the speed.
