According to their FAQ it does http://www.xoreax.com/support_faq.htm#q5[^]

But is that needed? In my experience, I work on one solution that contains 26 projects (400-odd source files) A full batch rebuild (release and debug) with incredibuild takes just over 3 minutes. The same rebuild done with VS's compiler takes about 15 minutes, so that's 12 minutes saved every time I need to do a rebuild (which in the course of a few days certainly adds up!) -- Help me!

compiling lenghty project: P IV 3GHz, 1GB RAM: 13min AMD XP2800+ (2GHz), 1GB RAM: 12 min Opteron 150 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM: 7min woot! (I'd like to see the times on an AMD64 system, though..) Could be reduced further by maybe 30% by shoving the temp files onto a RAM disk...

Yeah but that extra gig won't speed up your build nearly as much as Incredibuild would. IMO, when the only goal is faster (full) builds, Incredibuild is much more bang for the buck than any new machine is (of course if you regularly compile only 1 file and then relink, the gains go down).

A build-all takes about 20 minutes on my software using the intel compiler. Even though I have a few extra compiler flag options set, I doubt it will help you in a comparison, you aren't using my code. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

That doesn't help much with builds (AFAIK) as they are not multithreaded. (How about VS2005?) :suss:

So he needs three threads for CP, and one for the build? :suss:

Some of us walk the memory lane, others plummet into a rabbit hole
Tree in C# || Fold With Us! || sighistWell - I've compiled the same solution (18 projects) on my work desktop (3GHz P4, 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive) and my laptop (AMD 64 3400+ (2.2GHz clock?), 1GB RAM, 7200RPM drive). My laptop consistently takes 2/3 of the time the desktop takes. So, for one project that takes 2 minutes to compile on my desktop, it takes 1min 20s to compile on my laptop. That performance difference is repeated over all the projects.... AMD64 rules - but I wouldn't mind seeing if an Opteron rules more :-)

Also has custom resolutions, which gets what you want just right.
