Visual Studio and C:\WINDOWS\CSC

Ever wonder why when looking for answers one gets more questions?

As I tried to determine why one of our machines built a project much slower than the others, in fact it seemed to pause at times.

While I did not determine the cause yet I did discover how much I/o work the devenv process does.  IF you ever are curios download FileMon from http://www.sysinternals.com  - its quite interesting.  I would think some of it could be optimized

The one thing that intrigued me was C:\WINDOWS\CSC - could not tell what this was - looks like its just work space for the compiler - Any one know what this is?

I suspect the slowdown will be network resource related some how but will leave that for another day....

c:\windows\csc is where XP holds the network files that you have marked as "make available offline".


One question - are your assemblies strongly named? If so, does removing the assemblykeyfile attribute remove the pauses?

It you answered yes to the above two questions, try running "sn -m y" at a .net command prompt, then rebuild. Then try "sn -m n" at a .net command prompt, then rebuild. Did they exhibit speed differences? If so, use the faster one.
