I'm using Codewarrior 9.2 and rebuilt the precompiled headers so I can use
some 10.3 specific Cocoa calls, and since I did that, linking has gone
from being nearly instantaneus to taking 1-2 minutes every time I
recompile. Following the same instructions to rebuild precompiled headers
on another machine didn't result in this slow down.

Is there anything I can do to improve the linking speed?

Thanks!

Here's the instructions I followed:

From http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1316.html

1) If you were using precompiled headers for your CodeWarrior Mach-O
project, MacHeadersMach-O.h as your Prefix File in the C/C++ Language
Settings panel for example, you can rebuild them by following these
steps:
    1.      Navigate to your Metrowerks CodeWarrior directory.
    2.      Find the Build.MacOSX.mcp project located in
MSL/(MSL_Build_Projects)/OS X/.
    3.      Double click to open the Build.MacOSX.mcp project.
    4.      Select Make (Command+M) from the Project menu.

Make sure you are using the right thing. You might want to use a
precompiled header directly (++ for C++) so there isn't a check for
every file to see if it is C or C++ Linkage.

Check the access paths and make sure you don't have any large recursive
search paths to start the list.

Also do you have your caches on and is the computer time correct.

Thanks for the quick response. The problem was in my 'Access Paths'. I
had an entry that contained '../..', removed it and that seemed to have
fixed my problem.
