Love and Admiration...

…to the first person to tell me how to make Visual Studio run like it is really running on my supper-ultra-fast PC rather than my old 286 sitting in the garage. I swear, this thing takes longer to display that O/S2 took too boot.

Install on a ramdrive... (what? you wanted to be able to reboot, too?) :)

On my 2GHz P4 with 512 MB RAM:

Launching Visual Studio 2003: 1 minute, 3 seconds

Loading our main solution at work: 1 minute, 56 seconds.

On the bright side, it gives me time to read the blogs on ASP.NET.

I already turned off Dynamic Help and even went to the external help to see if that would do anything (it did a little).

The real downer is when you install a new application and get the "Updating Help" nightmare going on.

I was gonna say "Turn Off Dynamic Help" :S

Reinstall VS with only the stuff you need.

Dock all windows, get rid of all the "autohide".

On Start Up load empty environment.

Dont add database projects.
