Message: [QUOTE="Guest, post: 10139035"] I've recently upgraded to Vista Business from XP Pro SP2. I compile code on my laptop with a great degree of regularity and have noticed that XP Pro was about 50-75% faster in this area. I've seen articles that indicate that this is a Vista problem and I wondered if there is a work around that doesn't involve re-installing XP. My machine is an Intel dual core at 2.33 GHz with 2GB of RAM and a 7200 RPM hard drive. I was able to do a build of my entire source code in about a minute and 30 seconds under XP Pro. On the same machine Vista takes about 4 minutes. A "clean" of the environment took about 2 seconds on XP and regularly takes 15-25 on Vista. Is there something that I can tweek to improve this? I have seen on both XP and Vista that the very first build after a reboot is slower. I assume that is related to some caching of some sort and have not included it with my measurements. Thanks in advance for any information. [/QUOTE]
