Pete,
By the way, for the purposes of testing your build speed, instead of
spending a long time building JDK8, maybe you can just build hotspot.
It's not completely proportional but would give you some ideas whether
you should consider getting another laptop :-)
Start Menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual
Studio Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010).
This will open a DOS window with the x86 version of the VS2010
tool-chain selected.
cd hotspot\make\windows
PATH %PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin
create d:\re\jdk8-b102\windows-i586
When it's done, open the project file hotspot\build\vs-i486\jvm.vcxproj
in VS2010 IDE.
Tools -> Options -> Project and Solutions -> VC++ Project Settings ->
Build Timing-> Yes
Choose the"compiler1_debug" + "Win32" build combination
Build the solution
Clean the solution
Build the solutionfor the second time
If you have 8GB RAM, the second build should have all the files cached,
so you should have very little disk reads. It will still have writes
because you're creating the obj files.
On my laptop, even before the SSD swap, the second build time is below 1
minute, and you can see CPU utilization constantly at 100% (all 4 "CPUs"
in Windows Task Manager are at 100%).
Switching to an SSD actually doesn't help with this scenario (becuase it
is CPU bound), but it does make the system 100 times more responsive.
Switching between apps is instantaneous. I can opening up a few copies
of different versions of Visual Studio IDE and they come up just in a
few seconds. With the HDD it would take ages.
Good luck!
