I'm using visual studio 2005. I rememeber in the back of my mind there's a way to output the time taken to build a given project.

Can anyone remember what that switch is?

Thanks Rich

Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Project Settings -> Build Timing

should work.

EDIT: My bad, thats VS2008 :(

In 2005 you might get the build times by changing MSBuild output verbosity to Detailed or Diagnostic from Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Build & Run

You can use a visual studio Macro to show the exact time it takes to build a solution. Have a look at this answer: Awesome Visual Studio Macros
