A Cassini app launched from a Short Cut with compile speed-up patches (RiPatch 349 and 350) add a new Debug > Fast Compile option to the Testplan Editor UI (See Fiture 1) and Options > Fast Compile option to the Diag/Cal Exec UI (see Figure 3). When Fast Compile option is enabled, the compiler will use a new approach to setting the device state that conserves memory and reduces the time needed until it is ready to run. Benchmark improvements expect 1.5x faster compile times (258 vs 400 seconds) and 15% memory reduction.

Note: As of Sept 2024, the Fast Compile option is disabled by default and are not preserved when a testplan is saved. Once the feature is validated, it will be enabled by default in a future patch.
