Q: 

Is the Visual Studio 2010 C++ linker faster with large projects?

I know it's still in beta, but I'm still really interested if anyone has seen any improvement on link times of large C++ applications.

I did some testing myself, but I didn't get very far: I only got our low-level stuff to compile and run. Mid-level stuff gave weird C++ lib errors that couldn't be fixed by a couple of hours googling and fiddling. So before I continue on this track I'd like to know if there's any chance of reducing our +- 1m30s link times.
