I am using build 1814, Visual Studio 2010 RC and Windows 7 64Bit and I am experiencing significant slowdowns within the IDE. The slowdowns seem to be in two main areas.
1. Scrolling with the scroll wheel. The delay is about half a second when first scrolling in either direction - scrolling is then very jerky for about another second - then everything is smooth.
2. Accepting keyboard input after relocating cursor. Again, about a half second delay before anything can be typed or pasted. Anything typed/pasted during the delay is lost.
Intellisense is disabled via the registry edit. This did not seem to have any impact.
Disabling Visual Assist fixes the problem. Rebuilding symbols does not seem to have any effect.
Any ideas are most welcome. At the moment, Visual Assist is close to unusable on my system and, obviously, Visual Studio 2010 is close to unusable when Visual Assist is disabled.
Best wishes,
Paul |

Can you please try if disabling default intellisense helps? You can find the options here:

FitzyDog:
Can you please try if rebuilding the symbol databases helps or not:
Press
VA Options -> Performance -> Clear history, cache and temporary files
and then
VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases
Also, can you please copy your system infos using
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste them here (from the clipboard). This will give us the basic information about your setup. |

I've had similar problems ever since around when I installed the VAX 1814 build under VS 2010 RC(vista 64).
I haven't reported it because I wasn't sure if it was caused by VAX or the other changes I made to my project settings(set up pre-compiled headers).
The problem for me appears to be memory related, when I boot up VS it only uses 200 megs, but the longer I use the IDE the more memory it consumes and the slower it gets(after 8 hours it was using 1 gig and VS was completely unresponsive)
So I just restart the IDE every hour or so and things work out ok for now..

Michal Puczynski: - Are your files on a network drive or on a "normal" hard drive / SSD?
- Can you please try if temporarily disabling your virus scanner solves this problem?
efofex:
Additional questions:
- If you see the problems when you are seeing the "VA X: Parsing ..." message in your status bar the above questions also applies to you.
- Forgot to ask: is this a new problem or did you see this with any previous version of Visual Assist? |

I've observed similar behavior on VC++ 2003. It is not limited to latest builds of VA X. One thing is however worth mentioning, that it happens mostly during VA X source code scan. When I see reports from VA in status line about scan progress scrolling the source code is not only jerking, sometimes GUI block till end of scanning. After scan is complete scrolling is quite fair on files that were loaded with solution. New opened sources scroll badly like sir. efofex described.
BTW. 1814 behaves far better than 1812 in this area. |

Do you mean this registry setting?

I'm not sure whether these reg. settings are working or not with VS2010 (will ask) but you can control intellisense via these options:
http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2010/03/09/intellisense-browsing-options-in-vc-2010.aspx
This is a link to a Visual C blog entry which describes all intellisense options including the one named "Disable intellisense".
Default intellisense should not slowdown your scrolling and typing but it worth to take a moment and clear up this disabling stuff.
Regarding Visual Assist, I don't see this using the same Visual Studio, Visual Assist and Windows. If it is not caused by default intellisense we should examine your system through some questions:
- Do you use any other Visual Studio plugins?
- Can you please copy your system infos using
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste the result (from the clipboard) here. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
- Can you please enable logging and reproduce the problem? You can find the instructions here:
