[fpc-pascal] Incremental compiling not working in new version

[James Richters]

I don’t know what causes this, but I have experienced the same issue.  Just loading the IDE takes like 30 seconds on a version I installed in 2023 and another in early 2024, and those also compile much slower, but I just installed it again last week and the new version installed is fast again.. but if I run the ones from earlier they are still slow.  I also note that when I run the slow versions, I can always exit out and run 3.2.2 and it’s almost instant.. so it’s not anything on my system. 
I’m doing my installs with FPCUPDeluxe.  I did update that this last time so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with why it’s working so well now.

I just noticed I didn’t update my compiler since 2023/03/03 and finally did so today. After making some required changes I noticed the compile times went down  from basically instant (after being fully built once) to taking 4+ seconds every build.
 
Looking at the output it looks to me like it’s not loading the PPU files and recompiling nearly everything every time. Did something change I could investigate? 
 
The only changes I needed to make were "Visibilities of members of generic specializations” from https://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_Trunk#Visibilities_of_members_of_generic_specializations but that doesnt’ seem related.
