for builds locking the IDE I usually peek at my inbox, unless I have a second IDE were I'm working on something else. For build running remotely it depends, if the build takes 10-20 mins (in my ideal projects) I just keep working. In other worse projects were it can take 1-2 hours, I tend to run them at the end of the day so I don't have to think about context switching too much.
