I have tried everything I can find in the web to speed things up in VS 2013.
like:
- adjusting: "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance" check box.
- deleting : C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSiteCache
- Current source control plug-in to None
- remove this option by unchecking the checkbox: Tools -> Options -> Environment-Synchronized Settings
but VS 2013 has still a very slow compiling performance. Any suggestion?
I haven't seen this one in a while, but I have seen it in the past. Try a quick test with virus/malwre checking disabled.
Also, how are catagorizing 'slow compiling'? Is it an issue with any usage of VS2013, or just your JUCE projects?
It uses a lot of memory when compiling - perhaps you don't have enough RAM and it's thrashing your virtual memory?
@Cpr. The antivirus/malware deactivation seems to help but its still very slow (40-50 sec).
Compiling the same project in Xcode takes around 5-6 sec on a 2 year older laptop.
Btw. I only have tested with JUCE projects.
@Jules I don't think its the RAM, got 16 gb installed.
Well, Clang is generally faster, but I've never found MSVC to be particularly terrible, even running it in a VM.
A typical build time for juce demo with vs2013 on an i7 4790 4GHz proc with ssd is around 20 seconds.
On i5 2550k 3.3GHz and vs 2012 it takes a bit longer, 40 seconds.
The amount of memory isn't important, 4GB would be enough, usage stays around 3.3GB
