> I've done the following. Anything else I can do? 1) Have a look at the memory swapping using task manager to see if 1GB is enough or not (should have no swapping at all) 2) Defragment you disk. 3) Have a look at your anti-virus, anti-spyware which could take a long time scann for your files. Try disabling those utility (just for testing). 4) Use task manager to see which program use CPU while you compile. 5) Break you huge exe into smaller parts, for example using DLL or runtime packages.
