Jeez, VS2005 RTM is really slow.

[Fredrik Melin]

Running a solution with about 20 sub-projects total about 150.000 lines of
code.

Typing code is slow (delay when typing fast).
Pressing next line while debugging is slow.
Pressing Ctrl-F for quick find is rediculous slow.
Everything is slow.
Running Exe is fine though

This is on a HP Workstation machine with Xeon 3GHz (HT Enabled) with 2 GB
ram.

What kind of monster machine do you need to get it going...?

Wow, some of use noticed that 512 MB was not enough (as it was with VS.NET
2003) to use VS 2005 comfortably, but if you are using already 2 GB...

I'm finding the same. It's a pity as I really like the IDE, but it is slower
than VS2003 was.

The thing I find really really slow is stepping through code in break mode.
Executing each statement seems to take about half a second. In VS2003 (and
VB6) each instruction executed virtually instantaneously.

I'm sure it's not a memory issue; I do only have 512MB in this machine but
there's no paging going on so I don't think that's the problem.

At least the .exe/.dll files still run as fast as before.

Hi,

My hard drive was really fragmented after I installed vs.net 2005
rtm. Defagmenting made a big difference on my laptop.

Exactly, it is one of the most noticeable things.

I would definitely defrag the machine, as it should run great with the
machine you have. I only have a GB and everything runs fine.

Did you ever have one of the betas on this machine?

No betas installed, have it on two machines (home and work) same speed on
both.
Yep, running defrag, might help abit, but I wont expect miracles.

Gregory,

In my opinion is VB 2005 in some points slower (and you never notice where
it is quicker), by instance when you do the first time dim a as
............... and here it hicks *one* time to get all classes and values or
whatever. After that first time you can type normally on and the
intellisense is showed. It is however a confusing experience the first
times, and you think direct "what is that slow".

In C# it is now very fine there it shows it direct and as well with
intellisence. If this is an aspect what takes in C# more loading time is of
course something you cannot see and even feel.

With debugging did I not yet notice any speed difference, it can be however,
this is often something you feel.

As well are the panes in my opnin in an other speed showing and hiding, what
is confusing the first times. I did not do any tuning yet.

That first aspect from VB2005 gave me the idea it was slow. However it is
only one time if you have load a project you don't notice it anymore and I
am now already used to it..

I am not yet sure of this to give a real answer in the newsgroup on this so
I did avoid that, however for your information.

What one of my thoughts is, if maybe everybody loads now the SQL server
standard while that was not in VS 2003
