reducing compile time for multicore

[vxk]

is there a way similar to make :

 make -j3

//instead of make

in visual studio where we can reduce compilation time , or vs does this by default ?

VS does parallel builds based on the number of processors by default.

If you work in a team, IncrediBuild will split the build across other computers in the team. Despite all the problems you might imagine with that, it really works well. I used it in the past and was very impressed; happily, my Windows days are behind me.

Thanks!
