When building applications that use many different toolkits and classes, my build times can skyrocket. It's frustrating that while i'm waiting for my application to be built LabVIEW is useless for development. This is especially aggravating when I find a bug that takes 20 seconds to fix, but then building the application takes another 20 min. To address this issue I propose that there be an option to launch the build process in a separate process from the IDE so that I can continue working with my code in the meantime. This could mirror the FPGA compilation process where it used to block development but now is separated out.
Why optional though? For smaller applications the build process is very quick so if you can live with it I wouldn't want to always introduce the extra overhead that I assume would be necessary to lauch the build as a separate process.
