Visual Studio 2005: Speeding up compiles
There’s a hidden switch in Visual Studio 2005 while doubles compile speed.
I know, it sounds ridiculous. Â But I’ve tested it. It’s MUCH faster now. The switch works by enabling multi-core processing. I have no idea why Microsoft has hidden this, instead of making it a big, obvious feature.
Anyways. You can enable it by adding /MP to the “Additional options” in “Configuration properties > C/C++ > Commandline”.
