If I understand your example, you are checking out the files, not doing an update to an already checked-out sandbox. That is to say, you start with no files in your project (empty directory) and you check-out the complete project. Since the VC++ IDE bases modification on the file time-stamps, all of the files appear "new" to the IDE and it rebuilds everything.
Rather than checking out the files every time and deleting in-between, what you should do is leave your sandbox in place and do an Update rather than a checkout. Hope I have understood your situation and that this makes sense.
