Visual Studio Add-On and extensions performance monitoring? - visual-studio-2010

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 ?

VS 2022: High RAM and CPU issue with Roslyn Code Analysis

We have a huge solution (ASP.NET MVC, C#) in Visual Studio 2022 (v.17.2.2 64bit).
Roslyn Code Analysis is always using high CPU and RAM.
Is there a way to prevent this issue? A configuration or something else?
In Visual Studio 2022, I've resolved it by disabling these two checks:
after that, Visual Studio works well.
This has apparently been fixed in VS2022 v17.3

Load testing deprecated in Visual Studio?

Came across this blog => https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/cloud-based-load-testing-service-eol/ saying that - When Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1 shipped in early December, Microsoft announced the plans to deprecate the load test functionality in Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2019 will be the last version of Visual Studio with web performance and load test features.". Have below questions about this:-
Does this mean the existing load tests written using the perf testing agents will not work any in Visual Studio?
Or does that mean engineers will not be able to use load testing features in Visual Studio 2019 onwards?
If you have a big amount of tests I would recommend staying on your current version of Visual Studio as 2019 will not have load testing features.
For new machines / load generators you should be able to install older versions of Visual Studio
For new tests development Microsoft Recommends JMeter and BlazeMeter as Preferred Load Testing Tools

Lightweight edition of Visual Studio

I am a C# developer, I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on a Remote Desktop Connection but it is very laggy and annoying to develop remotely.
So, I wanted to ask what is the lightest edition of Visual Studio (600MB+) which I can get?
I have a high speed internet but the problem is that it is not unlimited (100GB quota only is what I have).
P.S. It is not important for the edition to be 2017, but I want it to be 2012 or higher.
EDIT: My problem is not in the disk space which I have, but in my internet quota.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
A blog article here is stating that "Visual Studio Express" is the smallest in size and exactly as what you wanted (600MB+).
VS Express won't provide you as more features as VS Community, Pro or Enterprise - but it is providing the important ones.
It seems that Visual Studio Express 2017 is the final version of "VS Express" - So Microsoft won't continue the development of "VS Express" anymore.
And if you want to have the final lightweight edition of Visual Studio then I'd recommend Visual Studio Express 2012.
You can download the offline installer of VS Express 2012 here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/F/5/1F519CC5-0B90-4EA3-8159-33BFB97EF4D9/VS2012_WDX_ENU.iso (608 MB).
And it will require 4GB~ of disk space size to be installed.

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.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 on a recently purchased Dell Precision workstation with 16GB RAM and an Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3 # 3.40GHz. My C: drive is on a SamSung SSD. Here is what I would like to know:
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.
