Hi,

we are using VS .NET 2003 to develop Windows Forms apps with C#... We are
amazed at how slow VS works, even on top-modern computers with 1GB RAM.
Drawing the form, creating new events, saving the project, everything feels
sluggish. Feels like I spend more time waiting than actually working atm.

Anyone else got the same issues? Any tweaking I can do to improve the speed?

Sincereley,
Trygve

There must be something wrong with your machine. I run Visual Studio.NET at
my PIII 650/196M Ram laptop. In general the speed is acceptable in design
time.

I have noticed that some source control systems can slow VS down a lot. You
might try streamlining that if you're not using SourceSafe.

Also VS tends to acquire a lot of memory and not release it. I some
times close it when it gets high and then re-open it. If you monitor you
resources for a while you may notice it.
(I'm running a 1Ghz and 512mb, win2000) and works fine for me.
