Very Slow build time

Hi !

I reactivated my struggle with esp-idf because the first attempt about two years ago discouraged me from using it. I updated eclipse and esp-idf (tried from 4.2 to 5.0) and now always project build time is around 18 minutes. Previously it took seconds. Antivirus is disabled. Anyone know what could be causing it. In addition, when I add my own header files, the header files of the IDF library are not visible in it, e.g. "drivers/spi_master.h". It's so frustrating to use this framework, I've never encountered such a difficult one before. I have already spent about 8 hours on solving problems with compilation and settings of this environment and the end of the problems is not in sight. Besides, the tabs in the project settings have now disappeared. (e.g. "C/C++ Builds") and everything has to be set up in some magical way. I've worked on several IDEs and for the most part I've been able to create my own new project and run the device without looking at the documentation. One example of operating a given periphery was enough to understand everything. I have enough...

That is an absolutely insane build time; aside from antivirus still playing a role (Windows Defender, for instance, is active even if you haven't installed antivirus yourself) I have no idea what could cause that.
