Valve Batch Compile Tool (VBCT) is a Source map compiler written by Kevin Ottalini (qUiCkSiLvEr). This alternative works outside of Hammer and is designed to be light on your CPU, so you can do other things with ease. The tool also implements VMPI functionality (as it works in the SDK) which allows mappers to use several computers at once to compile maps significantly faster.
