I have some key shortcuts in WinXP, defined under application shortcut icon -> properties -> Shortcut key:
For example, ctrl-alt-W runs TotalCmd. With version 1223, I can press that key shortcut and TotalCmd appear in a second. With version 1230, there is a few second pause ( ~5 sec ) before the app is started. |

My Windows XP Hotkeys work just fine. In fact, I use that same one (ctrl-alt-w) to start Word. No delay. Using VA X 1230 on VS .NET 2003.

| I tested everything on my home computer. I have fresh new WinXP Prof. installed because of new 120GB HDD. I instaled .NET2003, MSDN and DX9SDK summer update 2003. I assigned (alt-ctrl-w) to TotalCmd and (alt-ctrl-v) to my translator. Without .NET run, anytime I press any of the assigned shotcut, the app appears immediately. I run .NET ( with VAX build 1223 installed ) and everything has the same speed. I run .NET ( with VAX build 1230 installed ). Anytime I press shortcut for TotalCmd, it appears with almost second delay. For Translator it is almost 2 seconds. Nothing as visible as on my work computer, but it is there. I tried to simulate work with a big cpp file, but the delay is not dependent on it. Even no solution is opened, the slowdown is there. I will try another experiments on monday on my work computer. |

| On my work computer, the slowdown is there even I disable VAX ( through menu -> VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X ) Also minimalization of .NET doesn't resolve that. |

| Is there a solution for this? I'm having the same problem with VA X 1287, VC6 on XP. It's very annoying. It appears to lock up Explorer since the Taskbar is unresponsive until the program assigned to the hotkey runs. |

Similar (?) problem with VC6 + VAX 1246 on XP Pro:
During debugging, explorer and devstudio lock up when hitting Windows-E shortcut. (Wait > 30 sec) Killing explorer process seems the only way out.
What I also *do* notice:
I'm usually working with 3 DevStudio instances, and after some opening/closing projects, there is always a "stale" MSDEV instance left (no window visible, but listed in processes. Logoff/Shutdown initites "kill now?" dialog) Such an instance present *feels* like it's slowing down the system, but that's just a feeling.
I've installed the latest release to see if that helps.

| The stale MSDEV problem has been around a long time, and can happen with just one instance. Usually what I see is a msdev instance that uses up <20MB of memory and no processor time. My best guess is VA never finishes destroying and hangs at the end of shutting down. Usually what happens when I shut down msdev is it goes from whatever amount of memory it's using down to <20MB, then closes normally. I've never noticed a pattern to when it doesn't close all the way, but it doesn't seem to affect anything else on my system if I don't catch it and kill it. |

i am always running programs via shortcut keys, and i have no problem with VAX running on my machine.
the only time i get this sort of slow down is when my machine is running at 100% CPU, or the hard drive is thrashing. |

| This doesn't have anything to do with CPU or disk activity; both are near or at zero when the problem happens. MSDEV doesn't need to have focus for the problem to manifest, either. |
