I'm running the release version...10.0.30319.1 RTMRel.  Overall performance is comparable to VS2008.

I'm only seeing this performance issue while debugging.

One link mentioned that turning off IntelliSense didn't help, but I'd like to try that anyway.  How do I do that -- I can't find it.

Sorry, meant IntelliTrace.

See this to disable IntelliTrace:

Thank you.

I'm running Professional, not Ultimate, so I guess that doesn't apply.

I still have VS2008 installed, so maybe I'll do my C# in VS2008.  

At work we're primarily C++ and VS2005.  I use C# in my own projects.

That's a pretty damning indictment -- a professional developer of many years, having used MS tools since the mid '90's, predisposed to like the new Studio, deciding to stay with the old version even though he has to back-convert his projects.  Not good.

I'll leave this question open for a few hours and then award points.

can you see if this issue also reproduces when you disable the Visual  Studio Hosting Process?  To disable this, go to Project Properties for  the project you're debugging, go to the Debug tab, and all the way at  the bottom you'll see a checkbox "Enable the Visual Studio hosting  process."  Can you uncheck this and see if the problem goes away?

Shahan,

Thank you for these references...they may give a workaround.

I'm currently away from my dev box and don't expect to be on it until Wed afternoon (PST).  I will try these two options then.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I appreciate your help...disabling Visual Studio hosting seems to help.  While still slower than 2008, stepping from line to line is now tolerable.  I'm not all that happy, but I can live with it.

I don't see how to turn off IntelliTrace.  Perhaps the Professional version doesn't support that...seems an odd omission.  I've attached .pngs showing Tools | Options.

I think you are right that Professionl version does not  have option of disabling intellitrace option.See the image for details.

I am using VS2008 so, i can  just search.

Thank you.  I think we've taken this as far as we can, and I very much appreciate your help.

No problem Glad to help you :)

I finally realized the real issue.  Its the anti-virus.

I had it set to scan every file that gets opened.  No wonder debugging was slow!

Silly me.
