Too slow ember-cli build on windows
ember-cli, ember.js
Solution
In order for symlinks to work, I believe you need to run the console as administrator. I just cloned your app, and did an incremental build test with two versions of console running.
The version of console not run as administrator took 8 seconds for initial build, and 8 seconds for incremental.
The version of console run as administrator took 8 seconds for initial build, and 800ms for incremental build.
EDIT: For those finding this through searches, take a look at an Ember addon to automatically configure your environment. Also available as a standalone npm package for those not wanting to install as an addon.

Problem
I have just started to play with Ember and ember-cli. I created a template project and added very few lines of js and some sass files from Web Starter Kit. And my project incremental build times are almost 15 to 25 seconds. I am running Windows 8.1, SSD , i5 with 12 GB RAM. ``` C:\Users\MyUser\Projects\ember\webapp>ember --version version: 0.1.4 Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events node: 0.10.29 npm: 2.1.10 ``` Project source: https://github.com/mmrath/ember-webapp I have tried excluding the project directory from indexing, windows defender and excluding node from windows defender. Nothing worked so far. How can I bring down the build time? UPDATE: After running command prompt as admin ``` C:\Users\MyUser\ember\webapp>ember serve version: 0.1.4 Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events Livereload server on port 35729 Serving on http://0.0.0.0:4200/ Build successful - 5632ms.
