MSVC++ 2010 Express is a CPU eater
Guys,I have a Quad-Core workstation and I can see that MSVC++ really uses all of it while compiling my stuff (well, QuantLib stuff). Although I use to do something else during a long compiling, sometimes I need to keep using my computer, but the compiler looks like a cancer in metastasis. As long as there is CPU power available (and if it is possible, of course) it tries to do parallel compiling.Is there a way to setup MSVC++ to use less cores or do less parallel compiling?Thanks in advance,

Are you running it via cmd prompt or VS? If in VS here are the settings:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/ar ... 010.aspxIf you are running the compiler via cmd prompt this might be a solution but I'm sure the configs can be supplied too, just not sure where they are located or passed in:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4208 ... nt-of-nice

It worked like a charm. Now I can compile and watch a move at the same time.Thanks a lot.
