VS seems to be doing a lot behind the scenes and putting project-specific files in App Data and who knows where else.

The development project started hanging on debug, the production did not. Tried all kind of settings and deleting .suo files, but no help. So I renamed the directory that the development version was in and presto, eveything worked without hanging.
