Slow builds of Windows Mobile applications

Every time I install a new machine with Visual Studio and write applications for Windows Mobile, I need to turn off the Platform Verification task to get reasonable build times, but I invariably forget how to do this.

The file is %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{newest framework version}\Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.Targets. Open this file for editing (as administrator), and add a 'false' condition to the PlatformVerificationTask.

The line you edit should look like:
Name="PlatformVerificationTask" Condition="false">
