Please lets discuss each bug in each own thread, there's no need to use
more then one place.

You can set `comp-async-report-warnings-errors' to nil if the packages
you use have to many compilation warnings.

For the motivation on reporting these warnings and more please see
bug#44746.

The default setting ATM should be to run on half of the cores (see
`comp-effective-async-max-jobs'), if that's not the case on Windows
should be fixed.

M-x list-processes
M: comp-files-queue

Ideally would be nicer to have a dedicated way to present the async
compilation status, but this does the job (for me at least).

Mmmh, I guess this is a Windows specific behavior.  Is there a specific
way to shut-down child processes we would use on Windows not to get
this error?

Thanks
