3.6. Optimizing Project Build Time

When you build a Nios® II project, the project makefile builds any components that are unbuilt or out of date. For this reason, the first time you build a project is normally the slowest. Subsequent builds are fast, only rebuilding sources that have changed.

With Nios® II Gen 2, the Windows® host compile and build time performance has improved. For example, it is now three times faster to build the webserver example.
