Time required to create FPGA

Question

Eric
Pesek and I came across many slow sections when we worked through the example
in the "Getting Started with the NI PCI-5640R IF Transceiver and the
LabVIEW FPGA Module" guide. 
            We began on page 11 of the guide
with Creating an FPGA Application and to summarize this better I put all the
slow sections in a spreadsheet.  This
explains what page, section and subsection each delay was in.  The last two columns are clearly stating an
estimation of how long the task took and any additional comments. Is there
anyone out there that can explain why it took so long to complete these
tasks?  If not is there anything that we
can do to correct the multiple delays. 
    Please see the attachment to view the elapsed time of each section.
Thank
you,

Hi Chad, Eric
It's hard to tell without knowing your system/computer specs. In my computer it doesn't take that long (what you say takes 4-5 minutes takes me 1-2). My first guess is that you are using a system with the minimum requirements.  What is the speed of you computer and how much memory?  Also, are you using the released version of the LV FPGA, NI-RIO, and the NI 5640R programming VIs?
