VS2015 builds take significantly longer than 2013.
As I touch each of my projects I upgrade it to C#6 to leverage
the language improvements. This requires that the project be build
with VS2015. When I do this, I have to add os: Visual Studio
2015 to get AppVeyor to build it. Unfortunately, each time I
do this my builds go from starting almost instantly to starting
several minutes later. I believe the problem is that when I set the
os it queues me up to build on Azure which means I
have to wait for a node to spin up (or something).
Is there anything that can be done to make it so my projects
that need 2015 to build don't have to queue for so long? If not,
what is the ETA on making VS2015 the default so I can remove the
os line from all of my projects and get back to fast
build times?

Well, it shouldn't be so long. Usually, it's a matter of minute-two. The problem is that the most of customers is still on Visual Studio 2013, however we are observing the situation and will make Visual Studio 2015 as default when more customers use it, somewhere early next year.
