Cache option of compile?

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Craig - are you refreshing cache _every_ time you verify? as opposed to when
you know the file has changed?

I use caching all the time and get 1 and 2 second responses on the verify
other than when I refresh.

I suspect (can someone from IBM - Michele ? - please confirm this) that the
refresh option refreshes _all_ files in your cache and not just those used
by your program.  If this is the case it may explain your problem a refresh
will take forever.  If this is the case - you could take a leaf out of
VARPG's book and have multiple cache files.  You will have to manage it
yourself by renaming the cache directory, but this could easily be done by a
Rexx macro that could be attached to a pull-down with multiple
"environments" specified.

As to a 400 based verifier being faster, I doubt it.  Michele would know for
sure but a NoGen compile is basically what the verifier is.  It is perhaps a
little leaner and meaner but I think you should probably accept that there
are just some things that a PC is faster at <grin>

What we really need is for IBM to step up and improve the retrieval and
caching speed so this becomes a moot point.
