Our site has about 15,000 pages (categories) and in order to build all those pages using "Build Staggered" usually it takes about 2 hours to complete static pages generation. Build all is not working at all, it always stops in the middle of the process. We are planning a major site expansion with over 100,000 new pages of content. If we have to use "Build Staggered" for generating over 120,000 pages it will take almost 16 hours to complete entire build process. The site is hosted in a dedicated Windows server with full admin access.

My questions are:

1. Is there a better method to build all those pages faster, preferably in the background service without using Web based interface?

2. Is the a possibility to change build staggered parameters such as number of pages per run?

3. Is it possible (or is there a plug-in) to restrict the function so it can build only specific categories with all their subcategories?

Many Thanks in advance!
