Speed up Visual Studio

Anyone got some tips for speeding up Visual Studio 2005? I'm usually using
Visual Basic.
It pauses for several seconds when I switch between code and form view.
Longer if I have data components on the form.
Even typing makes the mouse pointer disappear sometimes, I guess the auto
correct features are doing something then.

I got a new PC with 1Gb of RAM, hoping this would speed things up. But its
still the same.

Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

Sorry but there is really no solution to a form with many controls on it
from loading up sooner. This gets worse if you have a deep inheritance chain
that runs a lot of code to render controls at design time.

Regards the second problem - the only sucky solution is a smaller namespace
cache, so less autocorrection going on in the background. VS2002 was really
bad for this, is VS2005 in your experience better or worse than VS2003?
 
I have noticed a similar problem with VS2003. I thought it had something to
do with installing VS2005 side-by-side, but I think it was just coincidence,
as I was working on an app where I had a large number of controls on one
form. Sad, but I don't think there is much can be done except a faster pc
and more RAM.
 
Thanks anyway. I only made the switch to .net with 2005, so I don't know
what the prior versions were like.
 
As you may have already seen by now, VS2005 is MUCH worse in this regards!
Particularly in the CF apps, it's one sluggish IDE. I suppose
state-of-the-art hardware is the only solution.
