SuperDevMode compile time

[Marius Grama]

On the application I am working, for the gwt draft compile (via "Dev mode on" bookmarklet) CodeServer takes about 30-45 seconds.

The draft compile from Eclipse with GWT compile for one browser with -draftCompile argument takes ~70 seconds.

As I've read on this blog post http://tbroyer.posterous.com/how-does-gwts-super-dev-mode-work which explains how GWT Superdevmode works, the compilation should take under 10 seconds.

I'd like to ask some opinions on how much it takes the compile time for other developers who work with GWT Superdevmode on their applications. Does it run under 10 seconds for you?

Also when the draft compilation takes 30-40 seconds, I am still happy with the results, because it works much faster as with GWT Eclipse Devmode Plugin, but maybe I have misconfigured something in my application and this is why the compile takes so long.

I think I remember reading that there may be a problem with some of the generators running all the time (rpc and client bundle) even if nothing has changed. That could be causing some projects to be slow. Also ray mentioned that the linking phase was taking longer then he expected in some cases. I think there will be some fine tuning required.

You are not alone. Take a look at the comments at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-web-toolkit-contributors/RApHAZBy348 for some results of other developers.
