Jason Zander Quoted: I’m happy to announce that as of 10:00 AM PST the final version of the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is available for download! MSDN subscribers can download the bits immediately with general availability on Thursday, March 10. * Download Service Pack 1 (MSDN Subscribers) * Thursday's general availability download is here. As described with the SP1 Beta post, in this release we have addressed some of the most requested features from customers of Visual Studio 2010 like better help support, IntelliTrace support for 64bit and SharePoint, and included Silverlight 4 Tools in the box. We also added unit testing support on .NET 3.5 and a new performance wizard for Silverlight, among other changes. We concentrated heavily on fixing issues you reported, including the top voted issues from Connect. The full list of changes can be found in the Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server knowledge base articles. You can also find information about SP1 compatibility, SP1 Readme, and general information about SP1 in the Visual Studio Dev Center. More here..[^]
Read the changes, but didn't find the one where you could now turn off the "Run in slow motion" setting. Also couldn't find the "Use fonts that don't look like crap" setting. (Meaning, good old non-truetype/non-cleartype Courier.)

Performance Troubleshooting Article and VS2010 SP1 Change[^] One of the interesting patterns we have seen is that Windows XP users are twice as likely to hit hardware graphics related issues than those using Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server. In some cases users report slower performance of VS2010 along with the potential for crashing behavior. Very frequently this turns out to be attributable to poor/old video drivers or other operating system components. You can manually turn off hardware acceleration in Visual Studio if you think this is impacting you. To do this, choose Tools, Options and turn off the automatic options:

"Run in slow motion" - i.e. the "Baywatch option"

Those options didn't affect peformance at all for me. It still has a slight lack of responsiveness that grows very irritating.

Meh. Your message seems to reflect a belief that we're all waiting with baited breath for the service pack... You didn't fix the stuff I reported last month, and I was told it "wasn't important enough" for a service pack. No bacon for you.

I'm using Windows 7 and VS2010 - why did it just take 10 minutes to open up a small Silverlight 4 project with no other apps running? Is that a graphics issue?

No, in your case it's a user error; you erred in thinking it would be responsive. :)

"Slight"? As in, slightly dead? For me VS2010 is hugely unresponsive, starting with the 30 second start-up.

Does it fix the problem where I can't build x86 Winforms applications while running Visual Studio 2010 on my 64bit Windows?

I guess now I can install the VS2010 dvd that has been sitting in my desk for 6+ months. Although with that said even VS2008 SP1 had a few major breakages especially with windows 7 64 bit machines..
