High CPU Usage during compile in .Net

[txjump]

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed how much cpu usage the .Net compiler uses. and if there is anything that can be done (besides upgrading) to decrease the workload hardware. these are pretty small apps (console, dll) that im creating.

i notice that if im switching between instances or sometimes just scrolling down...everything pauses. it comes back, but that pause is awfully long.

and, my computer sometimes just reboots in the middle of a compile. their suggestion is to defrag but my computer was rebuilt about a month ago...shouldnt have a problem there but did it anyways.

any comments, suggestions, complaints, compliments, etc for VC++ .Net?
