>Just an update on an old conversation. I got my new Dell machine in (dual-core sweet) some time back and observed the same fluctuation in build time except that on the new machine it would go from 2.3 seconds to 4.5 seconds and back. That pretty much rules out the hardware.

I found large amount of inclusion (as measured in bytes) to slow down vcx even more than prg, especially in classes having too many methods for my taste (apporaching god-classes). Each file opening will give a special pause as well.

Since fileopening seems to be even more of a showstopper in your case, you might check how much the virus scan / possible path arbitration (security/network availabiltity) is involved.
