Benchmarks For gcc-3.1

The summary must be that gcc 3.1 is a lot faster than gcc 3.0.4 for very abstract C++ code, but icc is still slightly faster overall."

  1. Re:Speed of compilation by Henry+V+.009 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    As for me, I recompile every 5 lines or so -- I generate a lot of typos. I use MSVC and make sure my header dependencies are logical, so not everything has to recompile each time. Usually the compile only affects the file I'm working on. When I'm working on files farther down in the dependancy tree, I am much more careful about when I compile.
