ContributorCyclone V Compile and Programming Times
A more complicated larger device is going to require more compile and programming time. You can reduce compile time by adjusting optimization options for the compiler or making sure you are using all the cores of your computer. See the warning message in your screenshot. You can also turn off the running of the EDA netlist writer stage of the compiler unless you need to generate files for a third-party tool.

SparkyNZ@sstrell I just changed the EDA Tool Settings -> Simulation setting to "None" .. and turned off Advanced Physical Optimization.
The compiler time has dropped to 1:18 !!
Thanks for the additional hint. This will make such a big difference. I can live with the additional programming time but the 4 minute compile time was a big killer.
