Mark, i have a confession to make

i use your chrome with incremental linking ....
i wrote a small program which after you run your dog_food thing,
modifies the genereated .vcproj and .vsprops
and adds incremental linking
of course, unit_tests died on a 2GB limit
so i checked link.exe and it is LARGEADDRESSWARE so i added this to my
vista

BCDEDIT /Set IncreaseUserVa 3072    (on XP i forgot the swtich but it
is something in the boot.ini)
and it all works perfectly... i was so happy that i googled it, and
this is supported by microsoft!

also, the BEST(!) speed optimiziation is adding the /MP switch!!!!
just by itself it cuts build time by half!

i can provide more info on why this is cool, but in one word this
works in parallel
even when you build just one project, as cl.exe does the forking and
sutff

(all was tested and works on Vista32SP1 and VS2008Sp1)
