After 17 years of working in games, I've recently just written an article on some tests to improve C++ compilation speed inside MSVC 2015.
I managed to get compile times down from 13.1 to 2.1 seconds and have documented the steps.
Let me know what you think. Happy to answer questions either here or on the blog there.
