VS itself, but now you mention it, VS's build system is also very slow (8 seconds last I checked) compared with just running the same compiler on the command line (about 1 second iirc). I once turned on verbose build output and just started laughing hysterically at all the useless bullshit it was wasting my time doing dozens of times a day. So I just use a build.bat now.
