Everything goes fine until 9 . .
then hammer crashes, logs me out of steam, and crashes the computer
Tried compiling a few times, got a friend with a better computer to compile it, same problem.
Map has 2 buildings made mostly with a sphere, and medium sized block brushes. the ground is entirely expensive water, with a giant trigger over it all set to hurt.
Tried making the map smaller, trying cheap water, and nothing seems to work. I need this map compiled, and nothing seems to work.

There are some nice tips in there. Thanks...dunno if it can make my map work. But i'll give it a shot
The spheres may be your problem dude. Those notoriously fuck up. And if you hand it to Vis it'll basically castrate itself in pain. Either func_detail them or turn them into models.

What's really happening is that vbsp is creating lots of unnecessary visleaves off of your brushwork, especially those spheres which is a killer, while vvis has to calculate which visleaf can see what. If you're confused, read the link firegod posted, though it took me more than one read to actually understand it. One of the best ways to reduce unnecessary visleaves is to tie complicated and extra brushwork to func_detail, which basically tells vbsp to not generate visleaves off of the selected.

I realized that a bit too late...it freezes on portal flow so that probably means that it cant generate all the crap those spheres make.

I read that as a refresher. Great guide, terrible spelling.
