g++ is very slow when compared to cl

LOL. We had this discussion before Elysia. Let it go. I think you were proved wrong back then. It's a matter of what you do with your computer. 512MB Ram can be plenty, yes. It IS plenty on my case. I honestly don't feel at all the need to put in some more.

I agree with that - having more memory in the machine than what you can actually use makes no sense at all.

But 512MB is not "much" in todays terms - which was my original point. The processor in manav's system is fast enough [assuming it's not also busy doing something else, so that's not the source of slow compiles]. Antivirus software and/or lack of memory comes up next on the list.
