The several-minute transfer/deploy times seem unique to LabView. Deploying Java for example is usually < 1 minute. One of the many reasons our team switched from using LabView last year to using Java this (and future) years.

Our code in labview transfers in less than 1 minute. Now, building that code on the programming laptop may take up to 3 minutes in bad cases.
