VS 2005 is, overall, pretty good on my machine. There are a couple of things
I have found that interfere:
1. Amount of memory on machine
2. Precompilation complete (on assemblies)? - If you are not constantly
adding additional patches/software, you can run a command line to complete
all of the ngening that normally runs in the background. Once complete,
things speed up.
3. Virus scanners - some really dog Visual Studio
Thus far, 2008 seems to have some of the same problems, so if you have one
of the above, you will likely find it slow, as well.
