I just got to know recently that visual studio supports parallel build of both multiple projects in one solution and multiple source files in each project via /MP(n) option. The former can be set in Tool-Option, and the latter can be found in project setting of VS2010, as show

As for VS2008, I have to manually specify it in the Project-Property-Compiling-Advanced page, “/MP8”.
Due to historic reason, our major product, consists some big projects which are bottlenecks, and fully rebuild is time consuming
, generally you can hang out and enjoy your coffee with enough time. Since I joined the team, it is really a headache experience whenever I thought of rebuilding it. With the new option, the build process has been much faster.
While this option may conflict with existing codes, for our cases, like improper usage of precompiled header files, #import statements, and etc.
