I looked into this a few years back (the delay stopped me from upgrading

ultimately no magic solution. I've since upgraded to BCB6 and the only
way to get close to the compilation speed of BCB3 is to compile from a
makefile. It's not as user friendly as compiling from the IDE, but it
compiles our project 5-10 times faster.
Interesting. Sorry for my ignorance, but... how does that work exactly?

Personally,I prefer to make/build via a .bat file eg.
********** makeproject.bat ****************
title Compiling
del %1.mak
del %1.exe
bpr2mak %1.mak %1.bpr
make -a %2 %3 -f%1
title Finished
***************************************
I then setup 2 shortcuts under my tools menu for making and building
Build:- makeproject ProjectName -B
Make:- makeproject ProjectName
Don't forget that all files must be saved to disk before you make/build
(including any project options)

IIRC there was some macro (smth like $SAVEALL) allowing to save the
current project automatically before invoking external tool...

perhaps inserting here call to fixmake will improve the ability to
build the project in some cases :)

compilation speed acceptable.

Can you still debug from the IDE if you use the command line make to
build the project?
Thanks,

As long as it was built with debug info, yes.
Start the IDE
Select Run|Parameters
Click Browse and select the executable
Click Load
When this pass is done and you do Run|Parameters
again, it will remember the file and Browse will not
be necessary.
