It’s parallel project builds in VS. >1 all the output from one project and >2 is the output from another project being build.
The option is controled in Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / Build and Run / Maximum number of parallel project builds. The default on install is normally the number of CPU’s are in your system.
If your solution has more than 1 project then up to x number of projects are build in parallel. The projects built in parallel also depends on project dependances as well i.e. dependant projects will not build in parallel.
