I want to speed up the build time in Visual Studio, and I discovered the 'Maximum number of parallel project builds' setting from the following link.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vi...n?view=vs-2022

Here's how to find it:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions.
2. In the Build and Run property page, adjust the value for Maximum number of parallel project builds and click OK.

I have 4 physical cores and 8 logical processors, and the default setting for this property was 8. I increased it to 16.Even though I only have one project in the solution, This change improved the build speed, but I’m curious about how it works and whether there could be any adverse effects.
