Performance issues when reading program output from Standard Output

[kinook]

At the top of the project, add a Run Script step with code like

Application.Options.RunProgramOutputWaitTimeout = 500

500 was the v7 default (changed to 5000 in v8.0). You can use a smaller value (say 50) for even faster response, but CPU usage will increase, so be careful about really small values. We will also change the default back to a smaller value. This generally only affects programs that rapidly generate large amounts of output.

Note: The default for this setting was changed to 200 in v8.1.

I made the suggested change (set RunProgramOutputWaitTimeout to 50) and it made a huge difference. Now our build process is about 30% faster then before we upgraded to v8.

Thanks a lot for great and fast response.
