Been working this week on .NET MAUI incremental builds on Windows. I think we've saved 3-4 seconds. Weirdly enough, you can install the C++ workload in Visual Studio to get a similar result!

@jonathanpeppers Wait, if I install the C++ workload, I'd see the benefit now, without any updates? Or have I misunderstood?

Also, I think you're under-selling the perf gain there 😉

@mikegoatly there is a file named vcmeta.dll in the C++ workload and if the Windows App SDK can’t find it, it recompiles WinUI3 xaml every build. I ported some C++ code to C# for the real fix, but you can install for now for about the same benefit.
