compiler C++ compile times: Clang (bcc32c) vs. Borland (bcc32)

[Michaell 3]

I'm currently using C++ Builder Athens 12.2 and switched from bcc32 to bcc32c. Following my finding regarding the huge compile time differences. All values are rounded (max. +/- 3 s) and measured several times.

CPU Ryzen 5 5600X:

1. bcc32: 25 s, 1 CPU thread
2. bcc32c: around 40 minutes, 1 CPU thread
3. bcc32c: 170 s, 12 CPU threads

Due to this bad result I upgraded my CPU.

CPU Ryzen 9 5950X:

1. bcc32: not measured
2. bcc32c: 120 s, 12 CPU threads
3. bcc32c: 80 s, 32 CPU threads

May be these information may help other users in view of compiler switch and or CPU switch.

 

Greetings!
