Is there a way to set nice/priority on a cmake build?

limit the number of cores it’s using?

compile_process_limit (Optional, int): The maximum number of simultaneous compile processes to run. Defaults to the number of cores of the CPU which is also the maximum you can set.

Maybe some hidden YAML config

Very slow compiling process

I just stopped now the last compile because it was no more going on (any error but stopped). I’ve added the line: esphome: ... compile_process_limit: 1 and cleaned the previous compilation just to start again from scratch. It looks like it is back to the old speed, the download was a flash and extraction too, so I think that is enough to hope it’ll be able to finish, I’ll see.
