VS2003 Very slow!

[hog]

Is it me or is the VS2003 IDE considerablly slower than the VS2002 IDE?

My cursor movements are verly slow and sluggish, sometimes with a delay only to see the cursor jump 10 characters at once.

Loading is slower as to are things like preview dataadapter, selecting the target dataset results in some delay before the tables appear in the data tables list, yet VS2002 was near instantaenious (excuse my crap spelling )

Ive never had that kind of a problem. For me its runs normally, even better then VS.NET 2002.

 

[hog]

Mmm, wonder what goes on then?

Im running it on a mobile p4 2.2 with 640RAM so the machine is well up to it??

 

[Divil]

640k of RAM!?



Seriously, for me vs.net 2003 outperforms 2002 so I dont know whats wrong there.

 

[hog]

Mmm now Im am starting to worry

640MB RAM

 

[hog]

OK any ideas on this?

I have the Windows Task Manager open viewing Performance.

When I open VS.NET and then my project the CPU usage jumps up to around the 70% mark and when the loading has finished drops down to about 1%.

Now if I type say 30 characters into the ide the CPU usage stays at around 1%. But as soon as I start using the backspace key to delete the characters the operation is jumpy, like pause then 5 to 10 characters a wiped at once then another pause. At this point the CPU usage is at 100%.

Is this correct? My IDE is painfully slow

Whilst opening IE and typing this the CPU usage hasnt gone above 2%??

I know this doesnt help you in your situation, but I have the same problem with 2002. The backspce thing and all.

I am running on a brand new laptop with a 2.66ghz P4 and 512mb of RAM.

I just thought I would let you know that I feel your pain :-\

 

[hog]

Mmmm interesting is there anyone else out there suffering the same on laptops?

 

[PlausiblyDamp]

Running it at the moment on a 256M p3 733 and it runs just fine.

Running on windows 2000 advanced server - fully serviced packed.

 

[hog]

Im on W2K Pro fully seviced

 

[Robby]

my laptop has; Win2k, P3 500, 128 Ram, VS2002 and it runs smooth.

 

[wyrd]

Robby: Really?

*busts out his 600 celeron 128mb ram laptop and starts to reformat w/ win2k*

I gotta see this for myself..

 

[Robby]

wyrd, why? are you on Win98 ????

 

[wyrd]

Well, my laptop is.. ya. I never use it, heh.

Ive logged this with MS as it is too slow to be acceptable. They are due to call be back today, so Ill let you know the out come.

It is only happening with VS nothing else. If I do the same test with the key strokes in IE, Word, Outlook, Access the Task Manager reports 1% of CPU Usage, but doing the same in VS reports 100%.

Somethings just aint right here

 

[hog]

Ill try this suggestion from MS and report back...

Problem is related to some performance issues, after upgrading from VS2002 to VS2003. I

 

[hog]

Needless to say that didnt work!!

 

[Divil]

Try removing all traces of any visual studio .net from your system and reinstalling.

 

[hog]

Thanks Divil, any suggestions on the best way to do this? I can only presume that if I run the unintstall feature that would do it.

I have just finished installing it on another PC in my office and it works a treat, so its either a dodgy install or the machine

 

[Divil]

Yeah, uninstalling was what I meant.
