Compilation time

Can you tell me what might be affecting compilation time. I have a source file that is a few hundred thousand lines long. It compiles for me in about 6 minutes. I have a customer who the same source takes about 16 minutes to compile. We are using the same command arguments. Both using 11.1 on 64 bit machines. The machines are not identical, but other applications take almost identical times. They may have a network license, while mine is a single machine license.All files should be local to the machines otherwise.Is there some way I can figure out why it takes so long for them to compile?

Thanks,

Dave

If they are running on a network system, where are the Visual Studio work areas? In my case, My Documents is mapped to a network drive and Visual Studio puts its files there. Consequently, for every file that is compiled, Visual Studio reads from the network drive. In my case, moving from LAN to VPN resulted in my compile time going from 1 munute to 15 minutes. Resetting all the Visual Studio folders to my local machine means that I no longer have this penalty. Sounds like your customer could have a similar problem.
