I have a problem with my Visual Studio 2010 Professional – I’m working on a project at work, and everything in VS runs slow (maybe except IntelliSense). I know that start-up times usually are quite bad, and I can live with that.
But building a medium sized solution (7 projects, a few hundred files) takes from 3 to even 10 minutes… After building the solution VS says that it’s ready, but I have to wait for the localhost to respond up to 5 minutes… That’s up to 15 minutes in total!
To keep things short:
- after turning on everything I still have at least 1Gb of free RAM (4 total) and only 20-25% of processor usage
- I have uninstalled every plugin
- The project builds and works fine on my teammate’s computer
- The project works and builds even better when I work on a server using my computer and a virtual desktop
- My computer works just fine
- I have just finished the painful re-installation of VS (after removing VS cleaning it’s leftovers – or so I think)
EDIT: After cleaning up my solution my build times are blazing fast! 🙂 Plus, I was able to find out that I have some kind of problem with my processor, which didn’t show up in the process manager until now… Anyway, I think my problem has been solved somehow…
THANK YOU!
It’s a fact that Visual Studio 2010 (devenv.exe process), eats a los of memory.
Sometimes when I want to fast develop a little project or just make a fast script
I use Visual Studio 2008 because resouce consumption with previous version is evident.
I recommend you to unistall all the visual studio 2010 extensions if you have any and
make a new Solution for your project collections if the solution you are currently using
was created long time ago.
You can try also VS2012. It has become better talking about resource consumption
