Intel Questasim is very slow for changing directory & compiling

How long do you experience the freeze when changing directory?

Are all the Questa versions you have installed bundled with the Quartus Pro Edition?

Do you observe the same behavior with Questa bundled with the Quartus Standard Edition?

From my side, it took roughly 40 seconds to read the modelsim.ini file when changing directories using a laptop.

However, on a more powerful machine, the loading time was significantly shorter — around 10 seconds.

If possible, try switching to a different machine and see if you observe the same behavior.

Additionally, consider restarting your current computer to see if that helps.
