What's a fast CPU to reduce compile times?

[modest ore]

Currently I'm using a PC with Ryzen 5600x. My issue is that on my project, every time I adjust code, the compile time is 30+ seconds. This wasted time is really starting to add up when needing to rapidly iterate on code.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on fast CPUs/components that could heavily reduce compile times in a new PC. Thanks 🙂

is the compile from: save file or enter play mode?

I never had those 30s, I have r5 5600.
my best practices is seperate modules or plugins as UPM

I noticed the compile time takes longer the longer that Unity Editor has been open
Try restarting it if you haven't already

I'd first confirm if it's actually compile time. It's more likely domain reload or something similar(or even a bug), which would be caused by your project and open scene size and complexity, regardless of what CPU you're using.

I can confirm this

How big is your project?
I've never seen 30s compile time even on my old i3 laptop, except maybe for the first time opening project

Save/modify code file, but even eventually enter play mode can start taking a long time, but not as long as modifying code file.

I think this is my main issue. If I restart Unity, then the first couple times I modify code files/enter play mode, it's very fast in comparison. Although, always soon after an hour or more of work, it begins slowing down until I reach the unbearably slow speeds.

Yeah, I think the majority of the time I am waiting on the Reloading/Completing Domain part after modifying code file.

Might want to look at the log files. There should be a domain reload report that lists what took how much time. Using the profiler might provide some clues too maybe.

There is a plugin to see what takes the compile time the most

Can you please share the name of the plugin?
