VS 2005 speed

I ran conversion wizard for a pretty big VB6 project (100+ modules). I've
got a lot of errors and warnings. I'm going to work on them in order to find
the best way to make a real conversion.
While with a small test project VS environment is pretty fast, with a big
project it's a terribly slow. For instance I highlight the comment line in a
form and press delete button. It takes about 15 seconds to return a default
cursor. Any change in code takes 10-15 seconds. I tried to exclude 20 forms
from the project. It took 7 minutes.
I have 2GHZ processor and 2 GB memory, 7200 rpm hard drive.
Is this speed of VS environment normal? Or I need to check some settings to
make it faster?

Thank you

I recently converted a very large VB6 project using VS 2005. I have not
experienced problems like you are having. [I had a few 1,000 errors/warnings].
