Where you don't have references to read-only files and/or system DLLs in use, NOHARDLINKS=FALSE will give you lightning fast build times. FYI.

Thanks. Very useful information.
We have about 20000 files ~ 1,5 GB. The project has been build about 2 days. Source files are on network drive.
After set NOHARDLINKS=TRUE - about 30min.
