I’m using VS2010, and hitting severe performance problems. For example I can load up, create a ‘HelloWorld’ project, start to debug it, and VS is using 700MB of RAM, and behaving sluggishly whenever I start to type.

Now, given the sparse information I’ve provided, theres no way I expect the exact cause of the problem I’m having to be given. Instead, I’ll ask for some general ways to find out the cause of VS performance issues.

For example:

Does VS keep some form of cache from previous sessions which is loaded every startup? Where does this live if so?

Are Extensions commonly a problem? Are there any tools to show separate memory/CPU usage of each?

    700MB Ram is really no big deal. Really. Not keeping up with your typing is, though.

    To diagnose this, try disabling or removing any and all add-ins… things like re-sharper, source control plug-ins, etc, and then re-enable them one at a time until you find which one(s) make it slow.
