copied!<p>I'm also experiencing extremely slow responses generally from VS2010. I can type in a phrase, sit back and watch it typed out onto the screen a couple of seconds later. Using it's internal web server is extremely slow even when not debugging. It's unusable.</p> <p>Running it on Win7 Professional x32, with a web project built on .NET 4.0, converted from .NET 3.5 on VS2008 which ran fine but was when I was using W2k3 as my development machine to keep the speed up.</p> <p>All these are run as virtual machines using the latest version of VirtualBox (currently V3.2.8 r64453) on Linux Ubuntu 10.4 x64 on a massive machine. 2 x Intel i7 2.8GHz (8 virtual cores), 12GB RAM, NVidia 9600 GPU with 512MB RAM.</p> <p>VM is set up to give 2 cores to Win7 and 4GB RAM and 96MB Video RAM. VT-x, 2D & 3D Acceleration and Nested Pages are enabled.</p> <p>VS2010 has been tried with and without Hardware Acceleration (as it uses WPF to display it's text editor! [why???]). With, you lose the text editor and menu bars; without, you get a barely usable system. I also have Reflection and Visual SVN installed. The machine is used for nothing else. Anti-Virus is run manually to keep the load down!</p> <p>[Rant Warning:] VS2010 runs like a dog and if it wasn't for the fact I've spent 11 months on this project for a client I've been working for for 7 years, I'd be redeveloping in PHP on responsive tools. I left M$ OS's for my business OS 2 years ago precisely because of freezes, slow downs and inexplicable changes taking weeks out of my productivity. Cost wasn't the issue, it was service. [Rant Over]</p> <p>I'm aware there are 3 items to this, VirtualBox, Win7 & VS2010. It may be best for me to set up a Win2008 server VM and install VS2010 on that, I don't know at this point.</p> <p>If anyone has any clues how to get VS2010 to respond in a timely fashion I'd love to hear them.</p> <p>Craig</p>
