Visual Studio has gotten very slow recently. It takes approximately 30s to more than a minute after a select a control before VS is ready to let me do anything. As you can imagine, this has tanked my productivity. I've taken to directly modifying the designer file, because that is way faster. I'm also getting an error every time I close VS.



It definitely seems to be a size issue. The form I'm working on is large and complex (~180 controls/components). On smaller forms it's not a problem.



I've done a repair on VS (reinstalled and then reapplied SP1). It helped for about 30 minutes.



Any ideas on how to fix this?



Thanks!
