title: Visual Studio 2010 very slow, unusable
body: <p>I've searched for this topic but can't seem to find posts that relate exactly to what I am experiencing.</p>
  
  <p>I have a Visual Studio solution that I need to work on, its fairly large and contains 16 projects.</p>
  
  <p>Everything is just so so slow and choppy (Except start-up which is actually quite fast).</p>
  
  <p>Clicking a line in the text editor, it takes about 5 seconds just to move the cursor.</p>
  
  <p>Switching between files ~1-2 mines (if I'm lucky)</p>
  
  <p>Clicking on 'Tools' ~ 2 minutes for the drop down menu to appear.</p>
  
  <p>If I right click one of the projects then its ~5-10 minutes before I get the drop down menu. During this time my entire PC locks up.</p>
  
  <p>Closing Visual Studio (in rage) ~10-20mins</p>
  
  <p>As for debugging and building.. well I've never managed to get that far.</p>
  
  <p>Looking in task manager (opening this with visual studio going takes a long time) there is nothing running that is consuming a lot of memory/cpu.</p>
  
  <p>I know Microsoft products are not renowned for being fast but this is ridiculous, there is no way I can code anything like this. Something must be wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be so greatly appreciated, my head is ready to explode.</p>
