Others have already suggested possible problems with your code, or perhaps you are inadvertantly doing something that results in the extra compilation, or perhaps you are seeing messages and inferring that things are happening when they are not. If you believe that your compiler really is doing somthing that it should not be doing, send an example to me and I will look at it.
