I\'m working on a large delphi 6 project with quite a lot of dependancies. It takes several minutes to compile the whole project. The recompilation after a few changes is so
What I do is always make sure to have very few directories in the library path, and most of the components and static code. I also make sure that NO sourcecode is available in the library path, only .dcu/.res etc. Only browsepath has the sourcecode, and special circumstances are handled through searchpath for the project.
Just limit what you compile in any situation.
