Hi Rudy, we are definitely interested in a link-repro and/or the output
data that you currently have. Also use /time to get per pass timings.
Also could you ensure that you're linking 7.1 code, with the 7.1 linker.
If you're linking 6.0 code with the 7.1 linker, this can slow things down.
You send this info directly to me at:

Thanks,
Kang Su Gatlin

If it's devenv or vcspawn then we
