Without seeing the project, it'd be hard to guess, so a few quick notes: * ControlFlowAnalyzer is run as part of generating SOYC output, which is going to cost something and be entirely unnecessary for a dev build - arguably even inaccurate to the point of being counterproductive to even look at it (as it would be showing you why your app is so big... when you deliberately are building with draftCompile). Turn off SOYC/compileReport/etc, it doesn't make sense for this build. * GWT 2.8.0 is pretty old - you might not be able to update all the way to latest, but maybe a short step or two to see if it resolves something? (2.8.2, 2.9.0, etc) * What other details can you share - what args besides -draftCompile are you passing, and roughly how big is your application (in terms of Java LoC or JS output)? Also, can you confirm how you're running the compile, and how you are passing -Xmx36g (in case you're accidentally passing it to the build tool and not to GWT itself)?
