What others said: get at least 1GB ram, because then windows doesn't
have to swap that much, and also be sure your harddisks are fast (as
compiling means reading a lot of files). If you're working on a laptop:
forget it, it will never be fast.
Web projects tend to be slow as well. I'm not sure if you're using a
web SITE project or a web project (i.e the project format they released
after vs.net 2005 was released).
What also helps is to split up solutions as much as possible, thus:
keep all assemblies USED by your webapp in a separate solution and keep
your webapp in a different solution. This will make compiling less slow
as most of the work you'll do is in the webapp code so you just have to
compile that project every time :)
