Slow compile... really slow compile...

Compiling has started to take a while. Like four minutes for the example Blink program.

I'm using Arduino IDE 1.6.3, Teensy loader 1.23, onto a 3.1.

Verbose mode doesn't reveal any complaints, just a great deal of time spent object files.

What might I be able to do about this?
 
What computer and OS?
Is your disk near full?

Macs will slow down when you have less than 10% of a volume free.

Also, can you verify that the Arduino IDE is using all that time and it's not other applications or processes?
 
Perhaps an anti-virus program in slowing everything down?

Yup, it was Avast. Disable that and the compile time goes back to a reasonable 15 seconds. Thanks for the pointer.

I switched to Avast recently (coz AVG decided to sell user data) which fits with when this problem arose.
