[feature request] compiler priority

(1/1)

Hans Henrik:
well just thought it would be nice to run your compiling in "very high priority class" or "realtime priority class" sometimes so..
in: global compiler settings >>other settings >>"compiler-independent option"
could add option to run compiler threads in, below normal/normal/above normal/high/realtime priority class? :)
(this page may be of some help btw)

jale:
Why do you think real time priority or high priority on compile process is nice?

In my opinion it's interesting reducing compiler priority

I don't think so. This makes no sense to me. If you really need it, higher the priority of C::B itself to such and all childs will derive the same priority automatically. But honestly: You won't save any time by doing that. I would even expect a slower compile time probably...

thomas:
Giving the compiler a higher priority is a really, really stupid idea. It will not make the compilation as much as a second faster, but it will severely hurt your system's responsiveness. Don't do that.

Giving the compiler a lower priority may make sense if you have a low-end computer and still want to be able to surf the internet (or do other things) while a lengthy compile is running. However, you probably don't need that unless your computer is 6-7 years old. Multicore CPUs work quite well in that situation without any priority tweaking, even the cheap ones.

ah didn't know, oki nvm

@jale
thought it'd maybe increase speed of compiling, ofc
