Wow. Mine takes up to two minutes on either of my machines (now that I've changed my build spec). Neither of my boxes are particularly impressive - one is 5 years old.

I have the same problem with the team T-30 laptop taking 10 minutes to build and download. I haven't had time to look into the resources that must be maxing out.

I switched to my newer work machine and it goes much faster, but that's problematical, since I'm really the only one who can use it.

Time to look for a grant for a new team laptop.

My wait is about 5 minutes for the whole process. I usually right-click the build spec and click build, and after that, run as start up. I'm not sure if this is the normal procedure, but it works for me.

I dont understand why the whole compiling and downloading process takes so much longer than it has in previous years. granted, the programs are much more complex, but shouldn't most of the libraries be cached on the RIO anyway?

when we go to download test code (running from the main vi, not deploying), the rio spends like a minute downloading all of the supporting vi's, and then downloads all of the project files- even if all we did between tests was change a wire!

the way labview works is really weird in my opinion... yet its so powerful...
