I am working on a Visual Studio MVC-4 project. It takes approximately 2 minutes to build the solution, which makes no sense. It is a small solution with 5 projects, with few (less than a few hundred) files in each project. To compare, we have a project which is 10-15 times the size of this project (Web forms), which builds in less than 3 seconds on my computer.
I have heard we migrated from MVC2 to MVC4, and the team remembers the solution was much faster before the migration, but they can't exactly remember it.
It is not only on my computer, but the rest of the computers on the team. I am pretty sure it is in the solution file somehow.
We only have 1 post build event, and it has no effect to remove it.
Any ideas about what to do?
What I have tried
Symbols:
I read a post here on SO, about setting symbols to run locally instead of server. I've done that:
Enable "just my code"
Make sure only my code is debugged:
Deleting temp folders
Deleted all the different temp folders around on my computer.
