AW: standalone build: "checking directory exists" takes up to 2 min

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

No, the delay is almost constant with this stack and after the delay of (most times) 1:40 min the, message „checking directory exists“ pops up again, as if there was a "time out" at the first try and then it takes only the standard 2-3 seconds, before the process continous.

If you build a standalone for your app, and immediately build again, is the second build faster?  If so, it would make me think that the server spins some of its drives down and it takes a second or two to spin them back up.
Even if the drive you are accessing doesn't spin down, if others on the server DO, I think there can be a short delay while it spins other drives back up to speed.
