    Hi Hakeen,

    Which device are you using?

    Can you provide some additional details about your project - like how large it is, how many source files etc.?

    Have you compiled the same project with a different version of CCS and noticed that CCSv6 is slower? Or do you just find the time it takes to compile with CCSv6 is longer than you would expect for this project?

    Does the compilation take longer/stall for a particular source file?

    There are some strange behavior in CCS6.....
    Device : C674x
    Compile : same project (type in new line. Then, could re-compile project)
    1. CCS6 (2014/9 update ) spend around 25 minutes to compile
    2. CCS6 (2014/12 update) spend around 1 minutes to compile (when I just updated the CCS)
    3. CCS6 (2014/12 update) , when I used it for two days, spend around 4 minutes to compile (same project , just change variable value.....)
    4. CCS6 (2014/12 update) , compile project with different compiler (7.4.11, 7.4.10, 7.4.8).... Then, it will speed up compile. spend around 1 minutes to compile

    Below is the CPU utilization when CCS spend 4 minutes to compile one project.

    CPU is not fully utilized.  The bottleneck should be not CPU.......

    Thank you for the additional details. However, I am still not clear on what caused the increased compilation time. Do you mean that after a CCS update the compile time went from 25 mins to 1min? From what I understand it seems that the final result is that you are able to compile within 1 min with several different compiler versions.
    If you are still able to recreate a situation with unexpectedly long compile times in a consistent manner, please send us the project so we can recreate it at our end and investigtate.

    Yes.  But only speed up for a short time..

    Compile with different compiler might speed up compile time. But not work every time. Sometimes, keep the same compile time. Sometimes, speed up......

    Delete the files in "debug folder"  might speed up compile time too......

    Still can't find a reliable way to speed up compile time........

    log the CCS console information.

    Might help to analyze this issue.

    Time Console
    00:00 start debug project
    00:00 console print <Optimizing>
    01:58 console print <Generating>
    　 console keep printing optimization information
    03:28 console print <Assembling>
    03:44 complete loading
