Q: When minor change in any file and re-run project in delphi compile and link time is very long.(2 minutes) How can I speed compile and link process?

A: While developing your project I´d suggest you to compile it with runtime packages, then when the time comes, you recompile everything into your EXE again, this will speed it up.
I´ve also been working with a rather big project and also experienced that kind of problem since my processor is rather out-dated. I´d also suggest you to divide your code ( if your code is not a mixture of every unit in you project ) into packages, this will help you to have a better organization, and will even speed up more you compile time since you´ll be compiling only the unit you are willing to debug.
Compiling every unit in your project every time you make a minor change will make you waste a lot of time.
Runtime Packages are a great tool for developing projects.
