SSD's really help compilation times! All those little files.
- yread 16y agoI have a new intel core 2630QM quad core and it is the biggest difference in compile times I have ever gotten from an upgrade. At least 3x times as fast as on Core2Duo T7600 that I was using before. Then again I'm compiling Silverlight assemblies which might be more CPU-bound than what you're doing. Also don't take just my word for it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867741/ssd-drives-and-visual-studio-ide-big-improvements-real-usage-stories-no-theor/1660421#1660421 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867741/ssd-drives-and-vis...
- masklinn 16y agoSynaesthesia is probably talking about compiling C (lots of pretty small files) or worse C++ (files are reopened a lot, so random IO becomes very important).
