title: Best practices if your Build is taking too long in Visual Studio
body: <p>I have moderate size solution in Visual Studio which takes around 5 minutes to build (It take that long because of FxCop and other post build steps).
  My problem is, Visual Studio stops responding while it's building. You can't continue working as VS almost hangs. I tried using two VS instances, just using one for build, but it keeps crashing every now and then.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, How to not waste time looking at Visual Studio building your large/moderate project. Are there any best practices for this?</p>
