hahaha - the question should be, "Anyone /NOT/ having this problem?"

I have 2.8GHz hyperthreading Xeons, gigabyte upon gigabyte of RAM and a
dedicated, high-speed harddisk just for pagefile use and I sit here for
minutes on end waiting for the IDE to switch from the project properties
page to a simple form. Minutes - more than 3 or 4, less than ten, all the
while watching the usage graphs for four CPUs going absolutely, freaking
insane.

I am not 100% certain that I have found the culprit yet as I am still
testing my assumed work-around, nevertheless...

It seems the IDE and compiler create myriads of files between them and are
either swapping out pages to disk, or are writing files to disk, at a very
rapid rate, despite the amount of RAM available to the IDE. I have a virus
checker that scans files on both disk read and disk write so have disabled
the virus scanner completely. The IDE seems to be much more responsive. I
say seems to be. Only the failure to clag and run like treacle on a cold
day, and the failure to corrupt even more projects than it already has, will
really tell if the presence of the virus scanner is the root cause /in my
case/.

That you imported the project from 2003 would seem to have no bearing on the
problem.

Yes i have the same problems. Did you solve it?
I must Exit the IDE and start again.
