title: Visual Studio loading symbols
body: <p>I'm working on a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion" rel="noreferrer">ColdFusion</a> project for a while now, and Visual Studio started to behave strange for me at least.</p>
  
  <p>I observed that when I started debugging, it built the project, it started the deploy, and the deploy finished and it was starting to load symbols for my project.</p>
  
  <p>But it was very slow, and I don't know why it started to do this step. What may I have done?</p>
  
  <p>Is this symbol loading step necessary? How can I disable it?</p>
  
  <p>In the Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols dialog there is no Symbol file (.pdb) location added. And I pointed in my project's debug directory at the field below, and I checked the "Search the above directory only when symbols are ...." checkbox. How should I set up this dialog to turn off symbol loading?</p>
  
  <p>I looked in the Modules window which symbols are loaded, but it says nothing to me. What is the problem?</p>
