How much can you do without compiling? One of my current projects involves a painfully slow SharePoint system. Actually building and deploying takes forever, but most pieces of code that I need quick feedback on can be built outside the main project then integrated later, which is much easier.

When I do need a full build, I make sure it is a single step run from the command line so I can go get a coffee while it runs.

Sure, actually speeding up the build would be better, but sometimes that isn't an option.
