Re: compiling speed-a few ?

This shouldn't do any harm. The shadow will be in memory on the cRIO, and your Main VI too. The big benefit is that if you Main VI is removed from memory, the 500 or so other VIs that it references won't need to be redownloaded because the shadow will keep them there. I have never seen an issue with using this trick. If you think you see something funny, just close the shadow occasionally.
