VS 2008 Professional, Smart Device .NET C# project - slow build

I have VS 2008 Professional and a Smart Device .NET C# project. I have ~100 cs files in total. The build takes a very long time, I have to wait for linker approx. 1min (60s) every time I compile the project. I have Core i3, 4GB RAM, 7200rpm disk.

What causes this and how can I optimize the build? Any Visual Studio options?

For windows 10 and framework 3.5,

in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 folder, find Microsoft.CompactFramework.common.targets file.

In this section 

<Target
    Name="PlatformVerificationTask">
    <PlatformVerificationTask
        PlatformFamilyName="$(PlatformFamilyName)"
        PlatformID="$(PlatformID)"
        SourceAssembly="@(IntermediateAssembly)"
        ReferencePath="@(ReferencePath)"
        TreatWarningsAsErrors="$(TreatWarningsAsErrors)"
        PlatformVersion="$(TargetFrameworkVersion)"/>
</Target>

change this, (add Condition="'$(DoPlatformVerificationTask)'=='true'" line)

<Target
    Name="PlatformVerificationTask">
    <PlatformVerificationTask
        Condition="'$(DoPlatformVerificationTask)'=='true'" <!-- Added -->
        PlatformFamilyName="$(PlatformFamilyName)"
        PlatformID="$(PlatformID)"
        SourceAssembly="@(IntermediateAssembly)"
        ReferencePath="@(ReferencePath)"
        TreatWarningsAsErrors="$(TreatWarningsAsErrors)"
        PlatformVersion="$(TargetFrameworkVersion)"/>
</Target>
