I guess VS and Office had more to grudge us than I gave them credit for. <smile/> I'll fix this as you suggest.

Increasing the size of the XML can swing their build times by double digit minutes and sometimes hours. Honestly, I've toyed with the idea of going to straight to a binary format instead of XML for the intermediate file formats to see if that reduce the load times.

It is tricky to handle the cases when binary files disappear but I'll mention it to Peter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
