For anyone having issues with LabVIEW build time, 8.5 definitely has issues with libraries, especially the large analysis libraries, which we will be addressing next year. For this season, there are best practices which can help. Threads such as

cover most of this. The summary is to try the other setting on the build specification, additional exclusion, library reductions. Depending on which libraries are being used, the setting may speed up your build or may slow it down depending on the actual libraries being used. Additionally, virus scanning will often lengthen the build by a large amount. If you need additional assistance, feel free to post specifics in the programming section. And again, we expect the to be much improved for next year when the schedule will allow us to make bigger changes.
