Quartus freezes when compiling and compilation takes very long.

Quartus II, which has worked perfectly up to now, started freezing for some minutes every time I click the compile button.

The compilation, after un-freezing, also takes ca 6 instead of 3 minutes. The performance seemed to plunge after I started

using SignalTap II in the project, although it seemed fine at first. The overall performance has also been degraded.

Is there any way of clearing cache or similar?

    If your project is small, the additional components added by signal-tap are much larger then your system. The result is that the compile takes several times as long with signal-tap. With larger projects, the difference isn't so pronounced.
