Compiling Blink takes 60 seconds for you! Whoa!
My Sony Vaio/Vista with Core 2 Duo T6400, 2 GHz,does it in 9 seconds while playing MP3s.
You have some funny settings turned on or something?Even this sketch only took 17 seconds:
Binary sketch size: 13836 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum) (168 Deumilanove selected)
Binary sketch size: 13836 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum) (327 Duemilanove selected)
I just timed it with a stop watch. Compiling blink took 56s and uploading took 8s.
CPU usage at the time was ~70% and ram usage ~49%.
When uploading sketches that take 25K+ (Audio file encoded in it for playing), it took well over 3 min.
Also, the hex files and objects are NOT deleted until you close the IDE making this very plausible and trivial to add.
