Whenever I compile and link any source(usually from rhide) there is a lot
of accessing the HD. The classic "Hello World" source takes up to two
minutes to compile and link. Isn't this a bit long?

Also, the available memory, in the top right hand corner of the IDE does
not change during the compile/link process (should it?). This suggests
that the process is relying exclusively on the TMPDIR that is set in my
autoexec.bat. Is there an option for gcc that I should set to get gcc to
utilize my 16Mb of ram?

I am very much a newbie at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ryan
