Well, in addition to the Stephen Walther's blog entry noted by AugustLights, there are some other options as well...

Jim Zimmerman talks about on his blog about some code he wrote to dynamically precompile his ASP.NET MVC view pages to find any simple mistakes.

You could also use the Spark View Engine, which has the feature of precompilation, instead of using the default ASPX View Engine that is enabled by ASP.NET MVC. This is a pretty dramatic change and might not be an option for you ;)

If you want more information about Spark or other View Engines, Scott Hanselman has a great blog post describing them and what they might look like.
