AW: Code Composer & compilation time -> Statement from TI | Code-Composer

Dear Mr. HUPP, Thank you for contacting Texas Instruments. I have done some test with my Code Composer and... get the same conclusion as yours: the compiler is faster when Code Composer is in the background than when it is a foreground task. Unfortunately, there are no way to accelerate the compilation when Code Composer is on the front. In fact, the whole CC package has a CPU time allocated for itself. When CC is in the foreground, this amount of time is split between the compiler and the GUI which need lots of resources. When CC is running as a background task, the GUI does not need any CPU time and the C Compiler is receiving more resources. Code Composer has been developed to be a multitask environment and then it is not possible to 'lock' the GUI during the compilation. However, if you move your development system to a NT platform, the problem will disappears as the NT operating system is not handling the tasks scheduling the same way. Both compilation methods will be faster. In case you have any other questions please contact us again.

I have discoverd a realy funny thing about comilation times with the CodeComposer (my version: 3.05): The compilation time of one of my files (a larger one) takes about 45 seconds - enough time to do somthing else than waiting in front of my monitor. Now I started to work with other programms in parallel to CC and what happens - a soon as I want to work with an other programm CC is ready with compiling and linking! So I took my watch an got following results: - Compiling & linking with CC is in front:h 45 sec. - same with CC in background: 12 sec. I thought it should be the other way: longer times when other programms are running in parallel - but it is not ! Does anybody know why I get this results? P.S.: I also will contact customer support about this thing and keep you up to date.
