0. I assume you've tried passing the "-v" switch for verbose? (I'm not sure
there is much wired up to it).
1. What version of WiX v3 are you using?
2. What is the command line you're passing pyro?
3. Are all of your MSIs and files local (not on a network share)?

Subject: [WiX-users] really slow using pyro
When using pyro to build our msp's, it takes a very long time to build
(approximately 5 times as long as building our original installer). While this
still isn't that long, it's very frustrating when we're trying to build and
test our installs!
Am I missing something easy that will make the builds of our patches run much
faster? What's actually going on during the 'pyro' processing? Is it the file
compares that could be taking that much time? BTW, the patch in question ends
up only being about 14K in size, and there's only 1 file out of about 960 that
is different, and that file is very small (several K). The two installs that
are being compared are around 80MB in size when built into the MSIs, and are
about 150MB uncompressed, I think.
Is there any way to tell the pyro tool to tell me what steps are taking the
most time so that I can try to understand if there's some optimizations we can
do to improve it?
