System and Visual Studio compile performance

I was wondering what sort of factors affect Visual Studio compiling? Most benchmark these days usually go for the multimedia, office apps, or games. I am wondering about compiles and SQL executions.

1. How well does upgrading to a faster drive help?
2. How well does having a larger L2 cache help?
3. How well does having a faster cpu help?

Not sure about Microsoft's compilers specifically, but the GNU C compiler is almost entirely processor-dependent. I don't imagine the instructions or data that get used repeatedly in compiling would exceed the capacity of a modest cache, but I can't back that up.
