I have a pretty small app written in C#. At first - when I was building the form, IDE performance getting in and out of debug mode was fine - about the same as with VS2003. But now - without adding too much additional code, the IDE is acting really sluggish.
I measured the time to start the app in debug mode - the time measured from when I hit F5 until the form was display was 72 seconds, and the time getween closing the app and when the IDE was active again was 59 seconds.
Also just switching between the code and the design tab of the main form takes a long time.
Is anyone else seeing similar behavior Its making this really difficult to use.

Try going to Tools->Options->Windows Forms Designer->General
and setting AutoToolboxPopulate=false;

I did have designer open for the one and only form in the app. I closed the designer and restarted VS as you suggested and got the same result.
I also tried importing the settings for "C# Developer", becuase I had originally chosen something different, and that didn't help.
Every time I try to do anything in the IDE, the porcessor jumps to 100% for a short period of time, and this machine is no dog - a single 3.6GHz proc, with 3GB of RAM.

If you have the designer open, close the designer, restart VS and try again.

There are a lot of variables that affect the load/shutdown time.
Are there a lot of files open in the editor Can you try closing them all and trying again
Also, can you try deleting the *.suo file (you will lose all open file information + breakpoints + bookmarks + etc.) and check if that improves the load/shutdown time
