What exactly do you mean by "bog down"? The console app will be quicker than the GUI app (although we haven't done any comparative timings to say how much of a difference). Some things that could affect the speed of a build:
* GUI vs. console app
* /nooutput flag (console app)
* 'Tools | User Options | Output | Maximum length of output pane' (GUI app)
* File logging and options (Tools | Application Options | Logging)
* active scanning anti-virus software (esp. if file logging is enabled or the build does a lot of file generation/copying)
