  I had the exact same problem. I determined that the slowdown is caused by the Symantec Event Manager service. As soon as I stopped the service and set it to manual, VS 2005 performed normally.

  I don't know whether Symantec has an update for this, but it's a huge problem. I've wasted hours with a slow IDE without being able to determine why it was so slow.

  Thanks,

  Ethan

  Hi,
  
  I found the problem. Norton Antivirus 2005 is enabled. Disabling this makes a dramatic improvment to VS 2005 performance at the expense of having no virus protection!

  Hi Dave,
  
  This is a standard "out-of-the-box" install of VS 2005.
