cc1plus high CPU load

Bluesuperman · 05-12-2006, 11:32 AM

Hello,

I have an issue where compiling some source for a custom app results in the following:

- cc1plus seem to create a high CPU load around 90%
- I also seem to use all the ram available on the server

CPU = P4 3.0GHz
Ram = 1GB

This goes on for about 1 hour until the app is done compiling. I do not have much experience in software development so is this type of load normal ?

How would I go about finding the bottlenecks.

The ideal load for any given situation is 100% CPU and RAM usage, but no more. If you find other operations becoming terribly slow while compiling, try using 'nice' to adjust the priority of your compilation job.
