Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

i am facing a problem of slow running arduino from last few months but found no solution.
arduino ide 1.8.1 is installed on my system and it takes 5 min just to verify the blink led example which is simple code just imagine how ,long it would take to compile big codes
if anyone there can sort out this would be really grateful,thanks.

Do you have anti virus installed. If so, check what happens when you stop the anti virus temporarily. If that helps, you need to exclude some directories from the anti virus. Not sure which ones as I have not yet encountered the problem.

yes, i have installed the avira antivirus but not found any improvement in speeding up arduino while antivirus is turned off

Attaching some helpful items.
You probably don't need to do everything but quite often some steps may be of use.
