I just checked in a change to use /MP for all compiles, which is a
secret undocumented flag that does parallel compiles within each
project.
Please let me know of your computer melts or becomes unusable during a
compile. It should more efficiently use all of your CPUs when doing
regular Visual Studio builds (it will have no effect on
IncrediBuilds). You can remove it from essential.vsprops if it's
causing problems.
We tested on Carlos' 2-processor system and it pegged the CPU more,
although it's not clear if it's a lot faster than before. On my
4-processor system, a build of just chrome_exe and all of it's
dependencies went from 25 to 16 minutes after using this flag. So if
you hate IncrediBuild, life might actually be tolerable without it for
fast systems.
