i started programming in delphi environment for days when i run it it takes some time that is not acceptabale,and when compiling and calling the help file it takes some time,for finding that what's up i headed to Performance console
,i saw that the cpu usage is maximum on 60% (my cpu is Amd 64 bit 3000+)

but to options are almost on 100%:
1.Pages/Sec
2.Avg. Disk Queue Lenght

i want to know what the exactly are and if i need to upgrade a hardware what would it be?
(and i have 512Mb of Ram Memory)
THANKS alot  OK, I do not have that particular language, but I should be able to at least start helping here.

When you say "programming in delphi environment for days" do you mean the computer is on for days? If so, that'll make any machine run slowly, and thus the compiler as well. Also, the amount of time it takes to compile is directly related to the length of the code. If I WROTE a huge HUGE program in Basic or C++ I could expect to start compiling and go to lunch while it compiles. How long is your code?

As for the help file taking a while, I feel your pain. That's because there's so much info that it takes time to load it all. Really bugs you when you just want to look up a syntax, doesn't it? what i mean by days is i started programming in delphi for days(i USED to use PASCAL)
,ok after all this what are the system requirements for programming?(code an application like msword)
what's you'r idea?
