I agree with Nick, I always click on the error to go to the offending source
line, but after fixing the first few errors I tend to re-compile to see if I
actually fixed them and how many of the rest are consequential errors.  So
limiting how many are highlighted (or even how many are displayed if the
treeview is the problem) may be a solution for slow machines and speeding up
the turnaround fits well with my workflow.
