.. _configure-cache:

Using Configure Cache (`configure -C`)
--------------------------------------

### Overview
When running `./configure`, CPython performs a series of system checks to detect platform-specific settings. These checks can be time-consuming, especially for repeated builds.

By using **configure cache (`-C`)**, you can store previous configuration results, reducing redundant checks and **significantly speeding up build times**.

### Benefits of `configure -C`
- **Faster rebuilds**: Skips redundant system checks, improving efficiency.
- **Improves development workflow**: Optimizes the edit-configure-build-test cycle.
- **Reduces system load**: Avoids unnecessary reconfigurations.

### How to Use `configure -C`
To enable caching, run:
```sh
./configure -C
