Is there a way to increase the performance of Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise?
I have a LOT of spare CPU and memory..., but VS is very laggy and slow and it's almost not using any resources (6% CPU and 6% Memory)?

Visual Studio 2022 increased memory usage over time

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 Community on a Mac for Unity development and over time VS's memory usage increases (2GB+) so I periodically shut it down and restart it. Closing all tabs doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
I need to have multiple instances of VS running which ends up eating into a substantial amount of available memory. I did update from VS 2019 in the hope this would resolve the issue but the problem remains.

How to speed up VS.NET 2015 solution loading and pasting into ASPX source view?

I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL hoping for a performance improvement over 2013. When I load a very large ASP.NET web forms solution, I have to wait over 30 seconds. After it is loaded, when I try to paste text into the source view of an ASPX page, I am intermittantly enduring a 15+ second wait. A popup tells me that VS.NET is busy performing background tasks.

What can I do to make VS.NET 2015 perform faster?
I found that VS.NET was I/O bound because when I disabled Microsoft Security Essentials entirely the performance was acceptable. There is an option in MS Security to exclude certain processes from security scans. After I added ~/Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe to MS Security Essentials' list of excluded processes, it ran acceptably fast.
If you are using ReSharper then turning it off makes performance considerably faster. Similarly Node.js Tools for Visual Studio can slow down your IDE.

Is Visual Studio express less resource intensive than Visual Studio Pro?

I have VS 2010 at work, but at home I was thinking of just installing the express version since it might be less resource intensive?
Yes, it is much less resource intensive.
It also has many less features.
I suggest reading What is “missing” in the Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions? before making a decision.

Visual Studio Add-On and extensions performance monitoring?

I'm using / testing a lot of extensions or add-on to Visual Studio.
As my Visual Studio is quite low, I'm wondering if some extensions are causing high CPU load.
Is there any way to monitor memory, disk and CPU usage per extension ?
Google Chrome Task manager provides such functionality... Is there the same for Visual Studio ?
