i'm not running any AV, my system is a basic XP install with most extraneous processes turned off for audio performance. i'm still using borland's freecommandlinetools compiler from 20 odd years ago, best compiler ever. ![]()
that helps to know and gives me something to search for, i'd seen videos of other people with very fast compiles, so now i know its not just some setting i'm not familiar with yet.
