Im using ReSharper 6 in a Vs 2010 Pro environment and are doing some pretty large scale projects. Development box includes 2 x quadcore xeon with 24 GB ram. Project's are running on a PCI-E x4 SSD drive with 1GB/s read and write (for real). So, i suppose there is not much I can do to give the development machine more power.
The worst project is an Umbraco site with roughly 14000 files and folders and some pretty nasty css. I got everything from second long freezes to 30 sec VS freezout.
I've optimized VS2010 according to every guide available in VS optimization. Even enabled the 64bit memory enhancement but the problems continue.
I've even added the media library folder to the skip list.
Are there any other magic tricks someone would know of, please let me know!
gorohoroh's comment lead me to the solution, the 6.1 nightly dec 13 rocks!
Thanks

I am using 7.0.1 and I find that it's killing my machine too.
However, it normally happens if I have more than one VS2010 open.
If it happens then the only way of fixing it I have found is to close VS, delete the DotSettings.user and the suo, and then reopen.
I'm using 6.1, and find that it slows down over time, and typing becomes really laggy. I've just discovered that when it starts to chug, if I go to "Tools..Options..ReSharper..General", then click on Suspend, then Resume - it goes back to it's initial speed.

I was using RAD 10.1 (Berlin) with no problem until now... Last month I applied Windows Creator Update and was occupied by other businesses... Now, each time I start the IDE, the loading progresses quickly up to "All design time packages loaded". At this time RAD studio sits on its splash window and consumes ~25% CPU. It takes at least 10 minutes before the IDE appears...
I've installed RAD 10.2 (Tokyo) and all provided patches, hoping for a fix... But the problem remains the same.
I can't go back to previous version of Windows 10 (more than 10 days after install).
I've already searched for an answer and Matthias E suggested that it was linked to https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-17972.
But, in my case, the (very) long period stands only for IDE loading even when there is no project to (auto)load. I'm not talking about the time-period to load the project or to start project execution or even to start the application execution. Once the IDE has been loaded (after ~20'), everything (editing, compilation, building, debugging, execution) is working quickly...
I have become accustomed to never close the IDE once opened but this is particularly disturbing.
Could you help me ?

Description
The debugger goes haywire for everyone in our organization with Creators and Tokyo/Berlin. Reverting to Windows Anniversary brings back the sanity.
Debugger problems with Tokyo/Berlin and Creators:
App takes a long time to load with modules loading and unloading and re-loading many times
IDE freezes
Memory consumption of bds.exe explodes, sometimes (> 3GB)
I will attached before and after screenshots showing how modules load and unload and re-load with Windows 10 Creators.
I presume these problems have the same root cause(s) than those in https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=884382*

Thanks to Lieven Keersmaekers's suggestion to use procmon, I was able to find the cause of the problem. RAD studio was heavily trying to access an enormous (128 GB) zip backup file (see : qed-electronic.com/Download/170808-ProcMonTrace.jpg ). I've simply moved the backup file to another location and RAD studio now starts as before. I have no idea why RAD wanted so much to access this file : none of my project files were located in this zip. The Windows Creator Update was apparently not guilty...
bds.exe must be launch with only one CPU !
CPU Affinity CPU=0
Thx to Javorszky
https://community.embarcadero.com/forum/installation-issues/1408-running-from-ide-freezes-windows-10#4173
To run quickly without entring TaskManager and change Setting CPUAffinity,
just create a batch file on the desktop:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\bin\"
start /affinity 1 bds.exe
Why ?
"The reason for this is that most applications you run these days have been designed with multi-core processors in mind and will work with the operating system to distribute their operations as evenly as possible across all the available cores. "

I have VS 2013 and Microsoft Windows 8.1
The issue appeared at the ending of last week. Without any updating or important changing, when I do somethings in VS, disk usage reaches 100%. For example, when I click on "Check In" button in the "Team Explorer" window, disk usage raises up to 100%. Sometimes by a simple right-click in text editor this problems happens.
I googled about 100% disk usage problem but there are some things about this problem on windows 8.1 but on my computer, all applications are running without any problem, just VS2013 has a "full disk usage" problem.
Some information about my system:

(Comment for others landing here as #Marta explains that the problem no longer persists on their machine.)
In general, any performance issue in Visual Studio should be reported to Microsoft. It's easy to do this directly from VS using the Report a Problem tool. That feature will automatically attach logs/traces which are shared privately with Microsoft. Internally, tooling will analyse those attachments to assign a ticket to the relevant team. With such attachments, there is a high likelihood that the problem can be diagnosed and fixed in a future release of Visual Studio.
Instructions on the Report a Problem tool:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/how-to-report-a-problem-with-visual-studio?view=vs-2019
If you prefer to diagnose high disk IO yourself, FileMon can be a useful tool:

I am using Visual Code 1.71.2 as well as Visual Studio 2022 (Community Edition) on Windows 10. I am also facing the same issue.
After lot of checking, found disabling superfetch mitigates this issue. But again, Windows, applications startup take lot of time.
As a workaround, I found that by clearing %temp% folder after using visual studio or code eliminates this issue and disk activity is normal.
But every time, I may not remember this cleanup and hate it for forgetting :(
Hope this helps someone in similar situation.
It could be related to Visual Studio updates - which would show under C:\ProgramData\Package Cache.
A disk space management tool like TreeSize Pro will help figure it out though ... it will show which directory is using the most space. You can then target what aspect of Visual Studio is eating up your drive space.
There is a free trial at https://www.jam-software.com/treesize/
You can also use this tool to export and post a screenshot / export of the usage here and it may help identify what is going on.
I had a similar issue that turned out to be the built-in git provider having issues with large codebases containing a moderate-to-large amount of changes before a commit.
Changing to a third-party one fixed the issue.
The operating system manages the resources (CPU cores, disk drives, GPU) to deliver what you have asked of it.
Ideally (what the OS designers are hoping for), when you perform an action, all the resources spin up into action and due to a well balanced system, they all go to 100% utilization, for a brief length of time, then go back to idle.
This form of utilization is, in practice impossible to achieve, as the PC builders would have to know what your system is going to be used for.
When the task manager describes the CPU as 100% utilized, it means that all the cores on the box, are busy running code, and are the bottleneck.
When the task manager describes the disk as 100% utilized, it (as far as I can tell), means that there is always a queue of items to be read, or written to/from the disk. Even with 100% utilization, it may be that the metric is the only reason you are concerned, and the system is otherwise responsive.
In either of these cases, it shows that for a given workload, the CPU or the disk drive has become the rate determining step.
In practice, it should not matter, unless the length of time the system is at 100% is longer than a few minutes, or that your machine feels otherwise sluggish.
Further diagnosis can be performed by using the tool Sys internals : procmon, or the Microsoft : ADK
I would look using the procmon, at what files are being accessed during the 100%disk usage period, and decide whether
The behavior is sensible (if not raise a bug with Microsoft)
The machine is working usably (if not consider a hybrid or ssd disk)
I've had some exasperating problems with disk usage and source control explorer.
What fixed the issue for me was making sure that I never opened Source Control Explorer in more than one project at a time, keep it closed when I could and limit the amount of VS instances you have open.
An SSD may can solve this... Are you sure this is caused by visual studio? when I was using Windows 8.1, the Windows Defender get to 100% disk usage from time to time. If you're sure it occurs when you use Visual Studio, you can try to repair it using the installer. Hope these would help you.
Try moving the source code to SSD drive.
HDDs have much slower disk I/O performance compared to SSD drives.
Generally in windows C drive comes as SSD drive.
I have installed visual studio 2013 Ultimate on Windows 8 enterprise edition.
When I start debugging an mvc project (which pretty empty) : it takes 27 seconds to start the debugging. I assume it's because IIS express 8 is loading symbols and hangs somewhere.
I have tried an empty mvc project and it starts in 10 seconds : which is very unacceptable.
I have tried :
- deleting all breakpoints
- enabling just my code
- unchecking symbols downloading from microsoft servers and downloading them on a local folder on the computer
- disabling intellitrace (was already disabled when i went to see)
- disabling just-in-time (was already disabled when i went to see)
- unplugging the ethernet cable (yes, i am pretty desperate)
- no antivirus is turned on
The first request (when i launch debugging) always take 27 seconds according to glimpse. The controller run under 1 second which is "acceptable". All the next requests are fine.
But I can't work with the 27 seconds each time I launch debugging.
Can someone help me ? I do not know what to do next.
My computer is a dual core 3Ghz with 4 Go of Ram and a 7200 rpm hd. I don't think it's hardware related.
Thank you very much.
UPDATE :
As soon as I start to use NLog in the code, it takes 30 sec to launch the debug mode.
If I comment all the place where I log something, It takes 10 sec. Sometimes less.
How much time you guys take to launch the debug mode ?
It's quit possible you are referencing dead or slow symbol path. For example, you're at home but accessing a symbol path on company's server. Check it under Tools -> Options -> Debug -> Symbol. If it's ok, check your system as follows.
Make sure there is no other process that runs out of your hardware resources.
First check if CPU usage is too high after staring debugging. If CPU usage is too high, use Process Explorer to check what activities VS Is performing. If they are in an extension thread, disable that extension. If they are in VS own thread, it's most likely a VS bug you can report to MS.
Check if memory usage is too high. If VS memory usage is too high, given that you just start simple debugging, it's a VS bug.
If both CPU and memory are ok, it's probably related to IO operation. Use Process Monitor to check which files are being accessed, especially files on remote machine.
This is how I troubleshoot the same problem on my machine. Hope it help you.
Not sure what has happened on my dev machine but I can barely use visual studio 2010 these days. I have a copy of professional edition installed on a win7 pro x64 build running on top of a i5 M430 and 6 gigs of ram.
With only VS2010 open i've seen the process leak away to 600,000k+.
The editor is extremely slow. Every character I type sends the gui into "Not Responding" for 5 seconds and starting/stopping the debugger is a ~30 second operation.
I've done a repair install. No change.
I've removed productivity power tools and installed the perfwatson extension.
When I installed perfwatson the GUI sped up a bit while opening/loading a project. But the text editor still has an awful delay.
What else can I do? Harware rendering is off in my environment options.
an example of the slowness (literally): typing Height="1024" takes about 30 seconds to display in the text editor and do its update flash to go out of not responding. The word "Height=" takes 5 seconds to show. The intellesense and blank " " takes another 5 seconds. Each digit pops in every five seconds after that.
Needless to say even trying to edit existing work is a frustrating experience.
edit: rolled back one version on video driver. No noticeable changes after reboot.
edit: did some winforms projects today. No slow issues with this project type. Must be something with just wpf/sl projects.
edit 8/18/11: Took troublesome project to the production server. VS2010 editor works great there. Very snappy and responsive. Not at all slow. So it's not something inside my project. It's something in my machine. But a full out OS rebuild is something I can't just do now. Probably will start a bounty soon.
Delete the .sdf and .sou that have the same base file name as your solution file.
If your solution file is
c:\MyProject\project.sln
You should delete
c:\MyProject\project.sdf
c:\MyProject\project.sou
This solves 98% of the problems of slow VS.
These files contain intermediate information that is not important for the functionality of the solution and as time goes by they swell up and become bloated and fragmented. VS relies on these files for and if dealing with them is slow, everything is slow.
I know this is an old post but I have just had an issue where my visual studio project has been working fine for about 2 1/2 years and suddenly every time I clicked run I had to wait about 3 minutes and the same when clicking stop. I tried the old windows reboot but to no avail.
I found a post about deleting the projects .suo file (it was only 4MB).
I deleted the .suo file and everything is completely back to normal. I guess the file had corrupted or something.
Having a large number of breakpoints or a large number of files open can cause serious performance problems, but it sounds like your problems are worse than that...
A bios update and a intel chipset update on my machine solved nearly all my performance issues.
The slowness started to creep out into the OS and I was pegging the cpu at idle. I've got 4 cores and 8gb ram. It shouldn't do that. Now its happy at 8% load at idle.
Thanks to those that tried to help.
had the same problem. not sure what causes this ridiculous performance nightmare, but eventually i had to re-install windows. This same issue was posted on Microsoft forums but the best answer was to re-install VS or windows.
I installed Eclipse Galileo and after trouble with the JDK, its starting well. But I have big problems with performance. Every third second, Eclipse is hanging for a while. It runs not smoothly. I need a efficient IDE as Eclipse for work. So, it would be very nice when you have a fast answer :)
Both Eclipse as the JDK are 64-bit versions.
Have you any ideas?
Update:
I can´t really explain the problem from scratch. But in my case, it was a trouble between Eclipse´s and the auto-complete-function of my OSK. If I disabled auto-complete, there was no hangs anymore. I don't know why the using of the OSK blocks the thread (?) of the whole editor.
Maybe anyone of you, has an idea why?
From your description it sounds like the garbage collector is being triggered. How much RAM have you got in the system? Depending on the plugins you're loading Eclipse can need quite a lot of it. I think the bare minimum is 256 Mb, and realistically you need at least 1 Gb, more if you're doing web development
Have you got an up-to-date JVM? Eclipse generally runs much quicker with a 1.6 JVM.
One other thing to check, do you have an aggressive virus scanner? Eclipse plugins are collections of small files in jars, some virus scanners can really slow down the performance. If you are able, remove the Eclipse install directory from the scanned files.
See this EclipseZone article or this question for some general performance tips.
Run Process Monitor and see what kind of system calls and/or file system calls the JVM is doing. Use filters aggressively to pinpoint a specific process. I had a similar issue where a graphics card utility triggered a flood of registry lookups for every UI update which just made Eclipse incredibly slow. (Somehow SWT was hit exceptionally hard by this bug, I'm not sure why.)
EDIT: I meant "Process Monitor", not "Process Explorer". But the link was correct.
You could try to run it from within a virtual machine set up on your computer to see if the problem is still there. If it's not, it might be faster for you to just work from within the virtual machine environment. Doesn't address the issue, but it may help avoid it altogether.
I had same problem so I just switched to the 32 bit version of Eclipse and it runs fine with no performance issues.

Same problem for me
I have Windows 7 professional 64 bit and 8gb of RAM
Eclipse is extremely slow, probably 5 times slower than the Windows Vista 32 bit machine I have recently upgraded from (Europa version) - and that machine was a complete dog!
Adding -Xmx1024m -XX:+UseParallelGC -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll has made a pretty big difference
I have same problem as not respoinding.
I searched in internet for a solution. I found one by adding the below to
eclipse helios config file.
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
Initially it looks Ok to start and click on the different buttons and
running on several files in eclips project. But when I click on debug
and step by step process. Then it is again showing not respoding.
I have a new laptop win7 installed.
I have the same problems with the 32 bit version, running with a 32 bit JVM.
It's more that my RCP Application which I developed with Eclipse is slow. I've tried both -Xmx1024m and -XX:+UseParallelGC, with no noticable effect. Has this issue been registed with eclipse.org?
