问题
I noticed when Visual Studio 2012 RTM was closed, that many instances of MsBuild.exe are still in memory.
Why ?
回答1:
The MSBuild processes are kept running for a period of time (fifteen minutes, I believe) after Visual Studio is closed. This is an attempt to improve performance, the idea being that idle MSBuild processes could be reused if another build is kicked off soon and the overhead of spawning a new process can be eliminated.
You can disable this by setting an environment variable MSBUILDDISABLENODEREUSE=1 (before starting VS) or specifying /nodeReuse:false (or /nr:false) if building from the command line.
