programming - excessive compile time (Check and Esc)

[bobkrohn]

Some odd behavior with Check and Esc.
My Project File has many Subroutines and is maybe 1500-2000 lines.
When I do a Check or Esc (to compile and exit) it is taking a very long time.
We're talking about 80 seconds.

However...

Don't know what I did but for a day or so, the compile times went back to "Normal".
We're talking about less than 5 seconds.

Now it's back to the 80 seconds.

Tried the Symb+On and the pin hole resets.
Didn't help.

Another thing I noticed.
About half the time when I do Check it starts checking but the tiny hourglass at top right shows no activity.
However it is checking and if I wait long enough I will get the completion message.
Several times I thought the machine was locked up and did a reboot.

PLEASE HP...forget about the tiny hourglass at top right.
Put a big hourglass at dead center screen. (like everybody else does)
I never even noticed there was an hourglass until the programs got bigger.
