    /Zm1000 considered harmful in VS2012 (this is probably true of >=VS2005)
    Only use it on MSVC versions older than in VS2011.
    This was making each compiler instance reserve around 750MB immediately, which in a parallel build would make some or all of the spawned compilers crash depending on system memory pressure.
