[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Autotools: Really slow on Windows (#2305)

Even so its less than 3 minutes.  Getting up and stretching is good for you :)

> Reducing header includes doesn't help a lot, but worth doing as it's so easy and has no downside.

@b4n noted the downsides when rejecting #2299. 

Frankly everybody else develops on Linux where speed is good, so they have no need for machinations to improve compilation speed a few seconds.  Perhaps you should investigate developing on Linux and only building on Windows when its working, or if you don't want to got all the way develop using one of the options @codebrainz identified for Linux on windows that have better performance than pure windows.  

Or give yourself an early birthday present of a faster machine :smile:
