Linking. Normally we don't think about it. It completes in a few seconds.

Linking. Normally we don't think about it. It completes in a few seconds.
But for me, this has become minutes to...hours.
But not every time. Not only did I have time to get the proverbial cup of coffee, I had time to take a nap!
When it finished the app ran properly.
This behavior started several months ago then went back to normal. Now it is doing it again. It must be hogging the cpu 'cause everything slows down.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Delphi XE7 Pro, Windows 10.

Thanks...Dan'l

  1. What do Process Explorer and Process Monitor tell you about resource usage and API calls being used during the linking phase?

  2. might be related to the latest windows 10 update (developer edition)
    and the problem with dll files and packages etc that the compiler uses
    microsoft know about the problem and will roll out a fix (i think?). I have noticed the longer linker time too
