First of all, thank for the replies. I must have said a few thinks before: - Cache size = 1024 kbytes - Ram disk = 512 kbytes, so size is NOT the problem. I set the environmental variable TMP equal to D:\ for the compiler intermediate files to be written on, in order to speed up compiling, as the C manual writes. The NEW stuff now is the following, which I have overloked and is a simple one. Pay attention to what happens during the compiling: RECORDER 1.0 (c) 1988 Ziff Communications Co. PC Magazine ~ Tom Kihlken File Name Total Read Write EXEC WFCL.LIB 96 96 0 0 RV.OBJ 95 12 83 0 WFDL.LIB 88 88 0 0 C1.ERR 74 74 0 0 LLIBCE.LIB 29 29 0 0 RV.EXE 21 0 21 0 WFC.H 18 18 0 0 MSCXBTRV.OBJ 12 2 10 0 WFC_GLOB.H 9 9 0 0 RV.C 8 8 0 0 ATT_GLOB.H 8 8 0 0 WFC_DEFS.H 7 7 0 0 WFC_XTRN.H 7 7 0 0 WFD_DEFS.H 7 7 0 0 WFD_GLOB.H 7 7 0 0 WFD_XTRN.H 6 6 0 0 COMPUTER.H 5 5 0 0 WN_MSGD.H 5 5 0 0 STDIO.H 4 4 0 0 WFD_STRU.H 4 4 0 0 WFD.H 3 3 0 0 WFC_COMP.H 3 3 0 0 WFC_STRU.H 3 3 0 0 STRING.H 3 3 0 0 MSCXBTRV.C 3 3 0 0 G.BAT 2 2 0 0 QCCOM.EXE 2 0 0 2 LLIST.H 2 2 0 0 DEF_ATT.H 2 2 0 0 QCL.EXE 1 0 0 1 LINK.EXE 1 0 0 1 XRAY. 1 1 0 0 RECORDER.COM 1 0 0 1 Notice the number of times the OBJ's and EXE's are written, and since the cache is write through, .... So, to improve compiling speed, I write the OBJ's and EXE's to the ramdisk using the appropriate parameters in the command line of C compiler. I also run the cache, and a see the disk light to be on for quite a little time. (How about speeding up the 6 MHz CPU? :-) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dimitris "Blue Grass" Bluguras, Heraklion Crete, Greece UUCP : ...!mcvax!ariadne!bluguras - BITNET : bluguras@csi.forth.gr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
