No, that is the named pipe problem. I retain a private patch in my tree, which reverts the named pipe patch that causes the crawl. With that, ISE works fine on a current CVS. It is my dream that one of these days, I'll actually have some free time to investigate how named pipes work and maybe try to fix it. I'd be happy to email the diff against the current CVS to you if you want.
With ISE, I use an external file editor (because the builtin one is junk), and ISE recognizes when I save a file with the external editor and sets up to recompile. I believe that is the file notification features for that, though I have not verified it.
