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
