[Cmake] Visual Studio Hanging (more often with CMake projects apparently)

[Ken Martin]

Bill Hoffman saw the same problem you are talking about last week. It
didn't have anything to do with VS7 because he had the same problem with
Borland etc. The problem turned out to be he had a network connection to
a CD_ROM where the CD-ROM had been removed. Apparently that caused his
builds to suddenly go very slowly (2% CPU a minute per file etc). There
was a dialog up indicating that the drive was no longer available. When
he closed that dialog his builds resumed their normal speed. He was
running WindowsXP. So it looks like XP's file system has a performance
issue when a networked resource is unavailable. That may have nothing to
do with your issue but the symptoms sound identical. It also has nothing
to do with CMake or which compiler is used as far as we know.

Thanks
Ken
