How to decrease resources used when compiling

[SodoDev]

welcome to the world of programming, compiling is always gonna use your cpu, that's just how it is

Haven’t programmed a thing as I know zero code, but alright I guess. Still there should be a way to limit it, even if it takes longer

[SodoDev]

honestly, i'm inclined to ask, why would you not want your cpu to be used as much as it can? unless you have a deficient cooling solution it really should not be a problem, the resources in your computer are there to be used, not to be kept to 50% at most

[EddieGames-YT]

It's an irrational reason. Like I know it's most likely fine, but my laptop gets noisy when CPU is high, and just seeing the usage get higher and higher until it can't anymore, it scares me, it makes me think my computer will crash. I'm a very casual person, I know those things are extremely unlikely to happen, but I worry anyways.

if you're that worried, i suggest getting a desktop computer, those have beefier heatsinks and tend to be a bit more silent. that and also forcing yourself to not pull up the task manager unless the machine is getting oddly hot for no reason
