Titanium Appcelerator compilation: slow or normal?

I'm compiling a very simple Titanium app (15 rows source code) for Android on my development laptop (Win 7 64bit w/ 8 GB RAM).

I'm using Titanium 3.4 GA SDK & Studio and I have connected my physical Nexus 5 to the PC.

From the moment I click the "Run as -> Nexus 5" option I have to wait 1 minute and 20 seconds for the compilation and the deployment on my physical device.

Deployment to the Nexus is made in just a few seconds, most of the time is spent on compilation (apk generation&signing, etc.) ...

Is that timing normal when developing with Titanium?

If not, any tips to speed the compilation?

Use TiShadow, it will reload the app with your changes in just a couple of seconds:

$ npm install -g tishadow

then build with e.g.:

$ titanium build -p android -T device --shadow

That's enough to get you started, check the docs for what else you can do with it
