TFS Generating list of changesets

Yesterday I created a new build in TFS for one of my components. This new build would be a build specifically designed to ready the component for the Staging environment. I created the build after someone mentioned that one of the components on staging wasn't working and I had recently changed some of my build structures on TFS, so I need a new solution. The project I've been working on has been accumulating source code and data for just over a year. Combine that with several other organizational projects and that's alot of information on the back end. My new build was taking forever and seemed to be stuck or frozen on the "Generating list of changesets". I was wondering if I had done something wrong or if there was just a glitch. I stopped the build and restarted it. Still the build gets stuck while generating the changesets. I decided to do a quick search and found that Manish has identified this as a slow area. Thanks to Manish I decided to wait the build out. More than two hours later and the build finally completed. After the first initial build, all subsequent builds processed in one minute. Just need to get through that first build and let it build the relationships for the build I suppose.
