How can I speed up MSBuild?

In an attempt to make things go a little faster I thought of the following:

1. Copy all the files to one a big bin directory and don’t use CopyTolocal.
2. Use parallelism (/m) for MSBuild.
3. Try to reduce dependencies between projects which is always a good thing of course.
4. Invest in hardware.

How do you reduce build time on Azure DevOps?

Pipeline caching can help reduce build time by allowing the outputs or downloaded dependencies from one run to be reused in later runs, thereby reducing or avoiding the cost to recreate or redownload the same files again.
