How can I speed up Ant Compilation in FDT / Flex Builder

Is there any way to speed up MXMLC compiles 开发者_开发知识库using Flextasks in Ant in Eclipse. Compared to FDT and Flex Builder's in-built compilation, it is painfully slow.

Try adding incremental="true" to your <mxmlc /> tag. That flag is on by default in Flex Builder, and stops the compiler from starting over each time.

HellFire Compiler Daemon (http://bytecode-workshop.com/) comes with a set of ant tasks that build Flex applications much faster with HFCD.
