Beginning with roughly 11 seconds at the start of build and growing to 16 seconds ??? towards the end. Each file actually compiles in a fraction of a second, the delay is something else that is related to overall project size. If I put a few of the same slow building modules into an empty project they compile at normal V5 like speeds. Once all are added building grinds to an unusable crawl.

See if that makes any difference. -- YH -- -- Please confine your posts to the newsgroups and DO NOT reply to this e-mail account unless asked. Any unsolicted e-mail will be ignored.

These are supposedly 'pre-compiled' versions of VCL headers, but only seem to slow down builds of anything but a very small project.

I don't know what these files are (as they are unnecessary to build projects) but Borland have some serious issues in their .hdp processing code. Every file compiled adds a little more delay before starting the next. It is also cumulative across builds so if you stop a build when the delay is currently 5 seconds and restart it will resume with a 5 second delay and just get worse. Even after powerup this morning I still had a 3 second delay. Deleting the files with Builder running doesn't reset the accumulated delay until you restart Builder. Also replacing the files after Builder has started doesn't introduce a delay. Seems these files are loaded at startup and it's in everyones best interest to just delete them.
