I have a serious performance problem when inserting a new line in code. Any time I hit the enter key at the end of a line there is 8 - 10 second pause before the cursor goes to a new line. I have the same problem when I backspace to the previous line. Anything that results in inserting or deleting a line of code behaves like this. Very frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause?

What version of VA X, IDE, etc?

Have you tried disabling VA X?

Do you have any other Add-ins installed?

I have VA X, but also I've used VA 6.0. IDE in this case is Studio 6.0. No other add-ins. I have disabled VA X, and the problem improves. However, I've found the following information http://www.gerd-riesselmann.net/archives/2005/10/when-visual-studio-becomes-slow
The instruction here solve the problem completely.
Seems VA X makes the problem worse, but is not the cause of it.

paste your VAX info here, if you could.

VA X Options -> About -> click the Copy Info Button.

So you use VS 6.0? do you use .NET too?

We recommend deleting the NCB files associated with your projects. They often get corrupted, particularly with VC 6.0, and slow the IDE.

The IDE will rebuild NCB files as necessary.

if you have the option

VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense

turned off and deleting the ncb files helps then you may want to replace the ncb file with a zero length read only file. this stops the IDE from creating a new ncb file, so it will not become corrupt. i have successfully used this method myself for quite some time
