For some unknow reason, Visual Studio 2013's IDE seems less responsive. It should be fairly snapping considering that I'm running it on a high end PC with lots of RAM. This happens even when I am not debugging my web application.
When I click on menus, there's a noticable delay before it responds and there's no highlighting of the menu. Clicking on HTML text or items in the solution explorer is also slow. Sometimes there's a pause with the cursor stuck on a text selection state.
Here's my configuration from the Help screen:

Can anything here be the culprit? FYI, I removed the Visual Experience stuff and didn't help.
UPDATE:
There's an error message that appears in ActivityLog.xml:
