> You are comparing a Command Line product versus a GUI product

Although my subject seems to indicate otherwise, the purpose of my post was
not to compare a command line product with a gui product.

The purpose is to bitch and moan about the editor occasionally locking up
for few seconds while compiling. This lock up seems to happen right before
the .obj is written to disk. I believe this is due to a unnecessary locking
of a semaphore on the part of the VS IDE team.
