Setting version to 1.7.1 release. Updating Help and Readme.

 ## Getting Started
 
-1. Add the **NsDepCop NuGet package** to your C# projects.
-   * Latest version, supports C# 7 language features: [![NuGet Package](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/NsDepCop.svg)](https://nuget.org/packages/NsDepCop)
-   * If you don't need C# 7 support then use the previous version which is faster: [![NuGet Package 1.6.1](https://img.shields.io/badge/nuget-1.6.1-blue.svg)](https://nuget.org/packages/NsDepCop/1.6.1)
+1. Add the **NsDepCop NuGet package** to your C# projects: [![NuGet Package](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/NsDepCop.svg)](https://nuget.org/packages/NsDepCop)
+   * If you have v1.7.0 then you should update to v1.7.1 because that's much faster.
 1. A file called **config.nsdepcop** is automatically added to your project. Edit it and describe [**dependency rules**](doc/Help.md#dependency-rules).
    * If your project doesn't use the packages.config package manager format then you'll have to [add config.nsdepcop manually](doc/Troubleshooting.md#item4).
 1. When you **build** the project, dependency violations will be reported in the build output just like compiler errors/warnings.

-## Machine-wide MSBuild integration
+## NsDepCop ServiceHost
+NsDepCop NuGet package **v1.7.1** have introduced the NsDepCop ServiceHost to improve build performance.
+* It runs in the background as a standalone process, communicates via named pipes and serves requests coming from NsDepCopTask instances running inside MSBuild processes.
+* It is started automatically when needed by an NsDepCopTask and quits automatically when the MSBuild process that started it exits.
+* By running continuously it avoids the repeated startup times which is significant.
+
+You can control the lifetime of NsDepCop ServiceHost by controlling the lifetime of the MSBuild processes by modifying the **MSBUILDDISABLENODEREUSE** environment variable.
+* If you set it to 0 then new MSBuild processes are started for each build and they exit when the build finishes. So do NsDepCop ServiceHost.
+* If you set it to **1** then MSBuild processes are kept alive until the Visual Studio instance that started them exits. **This option gives the best build (and NsDepCop) performance.**
+
+## Machine-wide MSBuild integration (Deprecated)
 * This is a legacy option in the MSI installer and requires admin privilege.
 * Hooks into the MSBuild C# build process by modifying the "Custom.After.Microsoft.CSharp.targets" file. It does not modify any C# project files.
 * Runs NsDepCop when building any C# project that has a config.nsdepcop file.
+  
 * The drawback of this method is that you have to install the tool on every environment where you want to use it.
 * The NuGet (per-project MSBuild integration) approach is much better because that works in every environment with zero install: the tool gets pulled down by the nuget package restore.
