    It would be good if the installer for the next Sandcastle CTP was signed.  The previous ones were not signed, which is a bit unusual for Microsoft.

    Also, it would be nice if some of the Sandcastle operations could be multi-threaded, so that the documentation generation would be even faster on a multi-core or multi-processor computer.

      Thanks WN and we will code sign for our RTW release.

      Sandcastle operations are limited by IO as we constantly write to disk.  I would like to understand your reason behind multi-threaded. Thanks.

        Hello everybody,

        I also strongly wish a multithread Sandcastle release, as I use a Quadcore Hyperthreading machine with SSDs. I/O has plenty of reserves, but Sandcastle still needs about 50 minutes for one of our projects.

        BTW, compared with good old NDoc, Sandcastle has *lousy* performance. NDoc was at least 5 times faster than Sandcastle. If you could bring back NDocs performance to Sandcastle *and then* use multiple cores, it would be *really* great.

         

        Best Regards, Stefan Falk
