There were a number of interesting comments from my post on Faster Builds with MSBuild using Parallel Builds and Multicore CPUs. Here's a few good ones, and some answers. First, Is the developer that sits inside of VS all day debugging able to take advantage of the same build performance improvements? Yes, I think. This post is about my ...
