Hi Harolds,
Thanks for using MSDN Managed Newsgroup support service.
Let me first confirm the issue based on the information you provided so far:
* You are building a web project in VS2008
* During the building, VS2008 freezes up and CPU usage is high
* The building will succeed in the end but a lot longer than it does in
VS2005
Please feel free to let me know if there's anything I've missed.
First, I must state that handling such issues in newsgroup might not be the
best channel since usually we may need to get hands on the system which has
the issue to do live debugging or dump analysis (unless it can be
reproduced on other systems).
Still, I will try my best to see if we can solve this issue here.
1) Please tell us your operating system and service pack applied.
2) Does this issue occur to this system only or not?
3) Does this issue occor to the web project only or not?
4) Are you using a Web Site or Web Application Project? If you are using
Web Site mode, which location you used? File System or HTTP (IIS)?
5) Are there any third party add-ins installed in VS2008? If yes, could you
please turn them off and see if it helps?
6) I will assume this project is upgraded from VS2005. If you create a new
web project in VS2008 and manually add the source files into it, will it
work? (This is to determine if this issue is related to upgrading from
VS2005 to VS2008)
7) We can use Process Explorer
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.msp
x) to troubleshoot hang issues. Please see
http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnts/archive/2006/11/24/how-to-debug-application-cra
sh-hang-in-production-environment.aspx for detailed instructions.
We can continue troubleshooting after obtaining these information.

Hi Harolds,
Is it possible for you to send me a copy of your WebRoot project along with
any required libraries? I need to test it on my side and see if we can find
the root cause.
You can find my email address in my signature.
Thanks.

Hi Harolds,
I understand. Then we might need to get a dump of Visual Studio to analyze
the issue. I suggest you to contact our Customer Support and Service which
is the best channel to provice such service. As a MSDN subscriber, you
should have up to four support incidents.
Thanks.

I am also experiencing the same problem on a Vista Ultimate. In my case, it
freezes for a longer time, like 3 minutes. Till today it used to freeze only
on builds with errors and for much shorter time. Today something triggered
much longer delays even on successful builds. Please follow up the problem.
