This SO answer suggests a way of showing the build time in the output window for each build.
To both improve and measure build time you could use a product like Incredibuild.
It is a distributed build tool that uses idle cycles from pc's on your network to improve build times. I worked at a games development company a few years ago who used it and managed to reduce build times from roughly 35 minutes to under 5 minutes.
Note that this is not a free product.
Below is a screenshot showing how this tool integrates with VisualStudio. The muti-coloured bars show which computer is building the code for you, what they are building and the time it is taking them (errors are always shown in red).
