Hi Thomas, I can't tell yet. I'll evaluate this as soon as I have a full featured build of blender working. Until now we had only builds with certain features turned off. I'll provide the build to the community for testing and benchmarking as soon as I have one ;-) For now this is just a portability step towards vs 2012. Just to find out how everything works together and how to compile everything from scratch.
