Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Performance

Question

I\'ve noticed since installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 that I\'m having huge performance issues. It will randomly freeze up on me quite a bit.

I had no performance issues

Answer 1

Trinition - I got te same problem of one of the core i7 cores running at 100% and it killed Vs 2010. But it was running at 100% even if vs wasn't loaded. Initially I thought it was a hardware problem so moved the disk to an identically configured PC. One core still ran at 100%. I ran malwarebytes across the system but It didn't report anything, and nor did my AV. My workstation was so slow, I had to scroll back through backups until i found one that was ok. It was really weird and I didn't find out the cause. I think something Malicious was the cause though.

What was worse was, shortly after this, vs went haywire: every time I loaded it, it replicated another copy of all the components in the toolbox. Uninstalling sp1 and repairing vs2010 ad them reinstalling sp1 and other components fixed, but all in all I lost two days to something for which I still have no explanation. Wish I'd found your entry about the 100% core at the time: it didn't show up on google 'cos that's exactly wat i searched for.
