You might play with the include path ordering. I achieved big speed 
improvements by placing boost first in the list, along with moving to last a 
path with a truly huge number of header files. Additionally, I use MS 
briefcase to keep a local copy of that last path, which resides on our 
network.

I'm using VC7.1, boost_1_33_1.
