Parallel builds

This is another nice thing to see in VC8 since I’ve upgraded my machine:

5>—— Build started: Project: Plugin_OctreeSceneManager, Configuration: Debug Win32 ——

6>—— Build started: Project: Plugin_ParticleFX, Configuration: Debug Win32 ——

5>Compiling…

6>Compiling…

6>OgreScaleAffector.cpp

5>OgreTerrainVertexProgram.cpp

5>Generating Code…

5>Compiling…

5>OgreHeightmapTerrainPageSource.cpp

6>Generating Code…

Yep, that looks a little odd because it’s interleaving the building of 2 projects at once - ‘5>’ is one build process, ‘6>’ is the other. This isn’t really news, but I didn’t have a HT chip before so never saw this until this week. It does cut down the build times quite a lot, and interestingly the ‘Updating Intellisense…’ slowdown issue seems much reduced too.
