I just got a comment from ScottGu about how to speed up the web project build process.

 

1) Right click on your project and select "property pages".
2) Select the "Build" tab, and for the "before running your website" drop-down choose "Build Page".

This should make your F5 and Ctrl-F5 behavior much faster. If you want to-do a full web-site validation still, choose the build->build-menu command.

 

On my project, it reduced the build times for by over 90%! Note that this doesn’t work if you’re trying to build using Ctrl+Shift+B, just using F5 & Ctrl+F5.
