Misleading ResolveProjectReferences Time

Prevent misguided optimization of ResolveProjectReferences by explaining that its reported time is wall-clock wait time, not CPU work.

When to Use

• ResolveProjectReferences appears as the most expensive target in the Target Performance Summary
• A developer is trying to optimize ResolveProjectReferences directly
• Build performance analysis shows a single target consuming 50-80% of total build time

When Not to Use

• General build performance optimization (use build-perf-diagnostics instead)
• The bottleneck is clearly a different target (e.g., Csc, ResolveAssemblyReference)
• The user has not yet captured a binlog or performance summary
