Visual Studio 2010 dog slow
-
We are upgrading to VS2010 (C++) and on XP machines it is dog slow. Sometimes the IDE will hang the PC for 30 seconds or more. Right click a mouse button, and 30 seconds later the popup menu appears. And this is not while compiling, although compiles and builds seem very slow compared to VS 2005. VS 2010 seems fine on Windows 7. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is? I assume it is something like intellisense getting its knickers in a twist, or some other background task. Oddly enough the Task Manager shows near zero CPU usage during these hangs. We do have plenty of RAM so virtual memory paging is not thrashing.

I have the same experience on my old single core cpu computer. I turned intellisense off, just to be able to work, which makes the editor responsive, but that sort of takes the development back a step of course. You can tune the level of intellisense in the options dialog a bit and see if any other setting helps.

When using VS2010 on older operating systems (Like WinXP), then one should make sure to install latest UIA (Windows Automation) component MS KB971513[^]. Failing to do this will cause VS2010 to perform poorly.

Thank you. It looks like that does solve the performance issues. I will notify our IT dept who install VS 2010 for us!!!

:) it is giving me comfortable speed even on my Virtual machine. On Cloud :P

For what it's worth, I have to turn off Intellitreacle, otherwise the system hangs for minutes at a time. Useless.

Only thought Intellitrace was available in Visual Studio Ultimate. Quite amazed how many are paying for the extravaganza version when looking at the price tag.
