Hello,
anyone know how to compile with multi threaded mode on Arduino IDE?
I got 4 core CPU and compiling is somewhat slow.

The application developer decides how to thread an application. The OS respects the developer's wishes if the CPU is capable.

When one thinks about the steps of collecting libs, compiling modules, and linking to a single target file there is few opportunities to multi-thread because everything must be completed and on temp file system before linking.
