Have installed RIDE7 and the ARM kit to compile my project, the problem is that it appears very slow taking between 5 to 10 seconds to compile each file and with 100+ source files to do that is very time consuming.
I notice that most of the time is taken running the rexrdr.exe application, what is this doing as the actual running of the arm compiler itself is very quick and it would appear that this is wher the delay is.

I noticed a similar issue with RIDE6 but this was not as bad.

Is it to do with file dependencies?, I also notice that when I run Make or Build it always does the whole fileset every time.

Having done some further testing if would appear that the issue is when "arm-none-eabi-size.exe" is running but this may be a red herring it is just that this is the action displayed on the IDE status line but there may be another program run after this which is not show and it may be that program that is the true cause of the delay.
It would appear whatever it is, the more include files you have in the source file and subsequent nested includes, there is a lot of disk activity which would appear to be the cause of the delay.

Is there some sort of include file parsing going on to determine dependencies ?

Also if I run the compiler in a system shell (dos) window using a batch file to compile multiple files then there is no delay issue, each file compiles on average in < 1 second.

Thanks Mark
