	I have a fairly extensive project, but its not outlandish. I am running Pro, and my build times are regularly >3 minutes on a very fast PC. I understand multi-file compile is coming, any ETA on that? Its a shame things are so slow and single threaded.

	Hi, Multi threaded parallel builds has been available for a while. The setting is on the vmicro>compiler menu. Are you changing that much code that it has to recompile so much each time? How long does it take for a 2nd build after a Rebuild? Which board are you using and which ide or tool chain version?

	Answers: 1. No they are incrmental, they definitely should not be so long 2. I dont think its picking up WHAT to compile correctly, Ill dig deeper. I'm using Arduino Due/Arduino tool chain off the board manager.

	Hi, 1) Switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose and vmicro>compiler>show build properties Then do an incremental build and email the output as a .txt to info[at]visualmicro.com along with a link to this post, 2) Are you using the toggle hidden files facility and editing core or library code? or are you just editing your own project code? 3) Have you changed the default compiler cache settings in the visual micro project properties? (probably not) Thanks

	#1 I will do so ASAP #2 - I dont think so (The toggle), and no I am not editing library code #3 - Nope, I haven't even looked at that.
