Switch VS 2k8 to use multiple cores to compile
-
A while back someone posted how to change visual studio to do multithreaded compiles without reinstalling it (it defaults to the system config at install time). I thought I'd bookmarked the post but apparently I didn't. Does anyone know how to do this?

In the VS IDE, Tools...Options...Projects and Solutions...Build and Run... On the Build and Run page, you can specify how many parallel project builds. For C++ projects, this just causes VS to launch multiple instances of cl.exe to build multiple projects in your solution. Hope this helps
