Slow and generic feeling.

Hi everyone,

I have been using VB5/VB6 and loving it but since my upgrade/new
installation to VS.net 2003 and even the new VB.net 2005 beta 1. The GUI
design is very slow and generic looking.
Every time I read any post on any of these product, no one seem to have this
issue so I was wondering if I miss something. I have even try to disable
most feature like auto completion, external help and its still slow and
generic feeling. Any time I resize the form or double click to get into the
code, it take some time to get in(even with new project). Sometime I feel
like I'm fighting with the IDE GUI more than coding. Any help or suggestion
would be greatly appreciated.

My computer spec:

Windows XP Pro SP2
Intel 3.2(1mb cache)GHz 2Gig Ram
Seagate 2x100gig HD.
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 256Mb ram.
(Sager laptop model 8790 with max upgrade).

btw, I have try sharpdevelop and that is fast very fast compare to VS.net
2003/VB.net 2005 beta 1. I'm hoping that the problem is in my configuration
with VS/VB.

Thanks,

never had any problems with it myself, and how generic could you get? VB4
was ultra generic for an IDE

Sounds like you have a decent system that has got a big clogged up with a
lot of spyware. Download spybot search and destroy... this should speed up
your system beyond belief and also protect it...

I have a system with half the speed of yours and VB.Net 2003 works almost
instantly although it does take a few seconds to load a new project if it's
big. You must have some other problem with your system.

I'm running on a AMD 2100+ with 768MB of RAM and the IDE is perfectly
responsive.

How about some specific examples?

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "generic feeling" - maybe not quite the
right word in English but please don't ask me to help with your native
language! :-)

Cheers, Rob.

Rob,

What i meant by generic is that if you look at vb5/6, when you resize or add
component into the form it instance. It doesn't delay or pause.
When i use vb.net or visual studio 2003 it seem as if i use it over the
remote connection, its just slow and not very responsive. i try sharpdevelop
and its very fast and it felt like
the vb5/6 version.

I heard from everyone including a few respond to this topic, that they don't
have the same issue. I can only assume my configuration. I have search
google and just can't find any issue.
Maybe my question now would be how to optimize/fine tune visual studio.net.

Do you by chance have your "build" option set to Release instead of Debug?
