Take Cairo as an example, when I start Pkg.add("Cairo"), nothing is displayed in the console.
- Is there a way for Pkg.add () to display more information when it works?
- What steps does Pkg.add () perform? Download, compile?
- Is it possible to speed it up? I was waiting 15 minutes all the time, nothing! Maybe a problem with Julia, or maybe a problem with the system, how can I say this?
Edit
Julia version: 0.3.9 (Installed using binary from julia-lang.org)
OS: Winsows 7 64bit.
CPU: Core Duo 2.4GHz
RAM: 4G
Hard Disk: SSD
ping github.com passed, 0% loss.
Internet download speedtest: ~30 Mbps.
I don't know if this is normal: it took me 11 seconds to get the version.

It took almost 2 minutes to download the Gadfly package:
julia> @time require("Gadfly")
elapsed time: 112.131236102 seconds (442839856 bytes allocated, 0.39% gc time)
Is it faster on Linux / Mac than on Windows? It is generally not difficult to create software on Windows; however, will performance improve if I build from source?
