Survey: effect of the new heap.inc on the compiler.

I myself tried clean-all-install for FPC on win32 and it was 1:30 before and after. 

The variation in the cleaning itself (4-8s) is larger than any potential benefits (yes, PCIE4 SSD with cache).

Having STEAM installed seems to also deteriorate performance significantly Probably due to anti cheat hooks.

Lazarus IDE is really large project.

It takes too much time to recompile and to rebuild it.

Your solution did not help me to rebuild IDE faster.

Off topic: Depending on your PC it should take between 1 minute (fast PC, no extra packages) and 5 minutes (10 year old 32bit, 2 core only, with magnetic HDD).

If it takes significantly longer:
- Ensure you do  NOT smartlink (especially if you are low on free memory)
- Compile with O1 or no optimization
- Maybe try compile without debug info -g-  but that should only matter if you have a really really really slow disk.

If you need more on this topic, please create a new thread (and do not reply to this here)
