Honored Contributorrjackal,
Good post, I need to elobrate some more: By legacy componets, I mean ones that were originally created by the old component editor prior to 7.1. If you have those they will slow you down, if you re-do the compnet importing under 7.1 then they dont have to do the ptf to tcl translation. A good question wold be once the new tcl is created why do they do the translation from ptf everytime you ropen SOPC Builder. I can almost imagine the debate in Engineering when they were trying to descide on this .... one group would be saying you can't assume this and that etc ... Regardrdless see if that helps you, that you had one custom component. Regarding the ptf yeah it still gets produced but it's an output file, it's not constantly parsed and redited as you are modifying your system. The main reason for it, is that you still need a file that you need to pass to the IDE to creat the BSP/HAL stuff ... I guess they could have used a new format even a binary one, that would make things a little faster, but I kinda like it since it readable. Hope that helped explain things a little better, let me know how your experiment went. For the system you described it should be screaming fast. sattia
