Poor VS Performance - High CPU on IsAssertEtwEnabled

Question

I\'m running Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 and have been seeing high CPU usages and noticeable delay on simple UI menu navigation and basic text editing.

Using ProcessExpl

Answer 1

Looks like this is caused by browserLink going rogue (or it was for me anyway)

You can disable it next time the issue occurs:

For me when I disabled it I immediately got my CPU back. I personally was linking to chrome though I'm not sure it makes a difference.

I guess if you use it hopefully it will be fixed in a new version...
