I tried it again today and it was simply too slow for my taste. The HDD on my machine needs to be replaced, though, so it isn't all on Resharper. I suspect with a proper SSD it wouldn't be nearly as slow.
Our project is starting to go that direction (we're using areas in MVC). Is there any tricks you've discovered to manage better with that many projects in the solution (e.g. have the projects in the solution but unopened or something)?
PS - Yes, there is a giant hack to build areas as a stand-alone binary, but it is clunky and terrible. Hopefully the MVC team add first-party support in the next version.
I think it should definitely get better with SSD although not sure if it would be completely OK: 500k is quite a lot, at least by v1.0 standard. Give it a try when/if you're on a SSD. Do get in touch with us (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/rscpp) if still too slow by then, we'll try to see what can be done.
Just some statistics on my setup:
Machine: i7, 8GB RAM, 7200 rpm HDD, vs2012 (upgrade to 2013 happening soon hopefully).
Project: 70 Projects in Solution, ~500k LOC.

I haven't tried it for C++ solutions.
