Help Make Visual Studio Faster(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by pyccki(357) 1 year ago

One of the most difficult things about our job is trying to decipher why Visual Studio is slow for a customer. Often it starts with a vague complaint (e.g. "Visual Studio is sluggish") which we then have to narrow down to a particular action that's slow, and try and get a profile. Then we have to look through a large profile and figure out which code is running slower than it should be and why. Sometimes the problem is CPU intensive, sometimes it's disk or network, sometimes it's a different program altogether that just happens to be slow. I know the process is just as frustrating for customers, who have to try and figure out just where it is slow and get us a profile. And of course, if VS is just a little bit slow, then it's often much easier to live with it than go through the hassle of trying to help us isolate it.
