[vtk-developers] very long build times

[William A. Hoffman]

I did not think VS 7 suffered from this problem, but VS 6 used to have problems
with .opt and .ncb files that it created getting slow.   Have you tried 
removing all files
generated by VS and not generated by CMake, or simply running in a new 
directory?
I think for VS 7 it is .ncb and .suo files.
