Real World D10.4.2 Build speed. Tick.

[Ian Branch 127]

Hi Team,

Win 10 64bit OS PC, 32GB Ram.  m.2 hard drive.

I initially tried 10.4.2 but had some issues that are documented elsewhere and I see are the subject of QC entries.  So I went back to D10.4.1.

 

I have now come back to D10.4.2.

I have seen a few articles about Build/Compile speeds so I thought I would do my own real-world comparison.

 

In 10.4.1 I had Several IDE 'enhancements' loaded and multiple 3rd party libraries, including DDevExtensions & IDEFixPack.

I rebuilt my major project group, 18 Apps, according to the build dialog 1821477 lines, 29 Hints, 36 Warnings, 0 Errors.  Build time was 1m 27s.  I was comfortable with that.

 

In 10.4.2, obviously my old IDEFixPack isn't directly installed but there are multiple components of it now resident in the IDE.  The only IDE 'enhancement' I had to reload was Parnassus Bookmarks via GetIt.

Without doing anything else aside from updating and re-installing on the 10.4.2 side, I rebuilt my project group again, interestingly, 2041796 lines, 29 Hints, 38 Warnings, 0 Errors.  Build time was 1m 19secs, despite the apparent additional lines compiled/built.

 

Subsequent exiting/restarting Delphi and reloading/rebuilding the project group gave me 1m 21secs.

Without exiting, just rebuilding, I got 1m 25secs.  Interesting.

Repeating, I got 1m 20 sec.

 

n.b.  The above times include post processing by Eurekalog.

 

All up, I notice no real difference in the Project Group load time and I am happy with the speed.

 

Regards,

Ian

DDevExtensions for 10.4.1 can indeed be obtained by pre-compiling the source files from the GitHub repository. With that, everything is clear...

But where did you get the IDE Fix Pack for Delphi 10.4.1 when the latest version only supports Delphi 10.3.3?

Do these improvements apply to Rad Studio 10.4.2? If so, can you share them with us?
