msbuild performance has been poor recently, particularly since the model implementations were split into separate source files. This change enables MultiToolTask which enables parallelism within a project without the problems of /MP. See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/improved-parallelism-in-msbuild/.
I tested each of the vulkan and cuda backends. My CPU is a 32-core threadripper.
This is supported in vs2019+. I think unknown options are ignored, so this shouldn't be harmful on older versions.
