Dynamics AX Benchmarks for developers
You are a developer. I remember good old times when AX 4.0 compiled in 20 minutes. How with the latest release ax 2012 takes a couple of hours to accomplish this task even with good hardware.
In this simple table I just wanted to share some hardware setups and its compile X++, compile CIL and synchronize database times for a developer box (usually single installation).
NOTE: after CU7, we're using axbuild
Format is hh:mm
| AX Version | Processor | Hard drive | Compile X++ | Compile CIL | Synchronizing | Overall |
