I know that msbuild is capable of using multiple cores (see here). But VS2010 ‘integration’ is a bit of a hack and the build output is ‘munged’ together from each project making it very difficult to read.

The solution I am currently working on builds at least 50% faster when done in parallel vs. sequentially (on an 8 core workstation), due to a number of idiosyncrasies with this particular code base.

Is anyone aware of an alternative build tool for executing a solution build over multiple cores, something with a nice UI perhaps?
