I haven't noticed any particular problems myself, but it may be worth
noting that VC++2005 can schedule builds across multiple processors
(which previously required third-party tools because the ability wasn't
built-in). Obviously it would be preferable if you could simply make
it go as fast as the older version, but perhaps it might offer you some
ability to mitigate the slow-downs. The multiprocessor compilation
isn't especially fine-grained (I believe it occurs only at the
'project' level, so if everything is part of a single project it won't
help anyway) but may be useful nonetheless.
