I would have to say...

Just make sure that is supports the C++11 stuff you want to use :laugh: I was quite surprised at what it still doesn't support.
I'm very aware of that...and if it falls short, the Intel compiler is still an option.

...that after bopping around various projects that I have that are in VS 2008, 2010 or 2012, I find VS2008 is the last usable IDE that Microsoft has put out. It didn't just go downhill from there (which I know some think has been the overall trend since VS BC 1), no, the usability and presentation fell off the f***ing cliff. While VS2010 sort of hit a landing halfway down, VS2012 is lying at the bottom of the ravine in a broken pile of pathetic performance and butt ugly presentation. Hopefully the monsoons will come and wash this eye sore away some time soon. Marc

I have read the thread but nobody says whether they are getting these performances on a 32 or 64 bit platform. Wouldn't this potentially make some difference. ... and be interesting.

This is so true. I switched over to VS2010 from VC6 and was wondering where the performance went. I still find myself opening VC6 to just quickly edit something. All these fancy things are nice, but boy the waiting. Try pressing F12 on a symbol in a LARGE project. You can have two cups of coffee before the dev environment comes back with a result.
Performance on VS2010 really sucks. You really notice it when running on a netbook. Get 2008 Express while you still can. On my netbook, 2008 is ready in 3 seconds. 2010 takes about 20 seconds before the splash screen comes up and almost 2 minutes before visual studio is ready to use.
