Editing j# source code is painfully slow in VS 2005

I have a large solution consisting of 16 projects and hundreds of source files.

Editing J# code in VS 2005 is seriously slower than editing in VS 2003. In some cases, after typing a word it hessitates for 2-3 seconds before continuing. Intellisense is barely useable with 5 second delays during typing to display class members.

How on earth can this been improved, the new features of 2.0 are a great improvement but it seems the IDE has taken a step backwards.

    Hi,

    3Ghz laptop, 1GB RAM lots of disk space. Only outlook running.

    VS 2003 runs fine, VS 2005 verrrrrry slow, almost unusable.

    Hi;

    By any chance do you have ReSharper installed It makes J# so very slow I uninstalled it.

    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,

    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.
