This thread gives me concerns too. Thinking of transfering code from A6 to A7 Lite-c. I also have 800k+ code at the moment and noticed a considerable change going from about 5 sec to over a 3 minutes compile/load time with the A6 when I included entity pointer string arrays initializtion code. Specifically, I added code that looked in specific directories and added any hmp and mdl file names present to string arrays that are used to hold the names of files available for loading. Nothing fancy. The hmp and mdl files themselves were not loaded by code though, just their names saved. I have not looked into the reason yet why this occurs and it may or may not be related to the compile time issue discussed here. Thought I'd mention it anyway.

cheers
