title: Problem closing Visual Studio 2010
body: <p>I suspect this is related to my <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6809572/very-long-load-times-for-the-initial-view-in-mvc3"><em>Very long load times for the initial view in MVC3</em></a> question yesterday, but I also think it counts as a separated issue.  I think other developers may experience this problem even without coding for MVC3 etc.  After experiencing yet another very long load time, I closed Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>I now still have a running <strong>devenv</strong> process consuming 460MB of memory, and nothing I have tried will kill that process.  I have no visible applications open that might be holding onto it, and I can't kill it with Task Manager, nor with PowerShell's <strong>kill</strong> cmdlet.</p>
  
  <p>I realise this question could be shoe-horned into a <em>SuperUser</em> question, but it is directly related to an anomoly with a development tool, and is very likely closely related to the development process.</p>
