Slow Project Building. Is it normal?

Since I added a Crystal Report to my project the builds have become extremely slow. I just timed it and it took 2 minutes and 25 seconds to build a project for testing.

There are 9 forms, one setup project and one Crystal Report. I am building it in Release Mode but there doesn't seem to be a heck of a lot a difference in Debug mode either. I never timed it before I added the report but the slow down seemed to coincide with that particular addition.

Does this seem normal? By the way, my system is a AMD 1.8 with 512 megs of ram.

It could be the setup project, I have seen those take some time. Try only building the setup project when you need it.

Also, you can find which project is taking the longest by right clicking on each project and building them individually.

It is definitely the Setup. The original solution only takes about 4 or 5 seconds.

While doing what you recommended I also made sure to watch the Output as the projects were being built. It does appear as though the new slowness can be attributed to the addition of the report. As it was loading I was seeing all kinds of misc. stuff being packaged that I am not sure are really necessary for my project.

I wont post the whole thing, there were 893 lines like this but most of the build is spent on loading these types of packages.

VB Code:

Packaging file 'Austrlia.MAP'...
Packaging file 'Sweden.tab'...
Packaging file 'Aucty_4k.DAT'...
Packaging file 'Norway.id'...
Packaging file 'prompts_en.js'...
Packaging file 'mid_maj.ind'...
Packaging file 'Frcty609.map'...
Packaging file 'calendar.gif'...
Packaging file 'mresultstabsel_de.gif'...
Packaging file 'rptcontrollers_res_en.dll'...
Packaging file 'Ukcty215.map'...
Packaging file 'x3dmpen.dll'...
Packaging file 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.dll'...
Packaging file 'crxf_pdf_res_en.dll'...
Packaging file 'EnterpriseReportService.asmx'...
Packaging file 'GeoDict.DCT'...
Packaging file 'Ukcty215.dat'...
Packaging file 'Mxcty_2k.map'...
Packaging file 'Chcty_5k.id'...
Packaging file 'Mitmin30.dll'...
Packaging file 'Ocean.map'...
Packaging file 'minubox.gif'...
Packaging file 'Uk_regns.map'...
Packaging file 'Aushiway.MAP'...
Packaging file 'Germany.gst'...

I am guessing that most of this is for foreign languages and other regional stuff. Anybody have any tips about cutting some of this out? Or is it possible to only run part of a solution? Say I don't want to test the setup since I already know it is OK. Can I just run the main solution to test it?
