I don't know if anybody else has had an issue with the performance of Visual Studio 2010, but I close it daily and reopen it, and with an hour it starts to really bog down, and can't even keep up with my typing. Is there some obvious setting I am missing that would help to speed it up?
I am also using ReSharper, but even if I remove that, it only marginally increases the speed.
Since a couple of people have asked for my machine specs:
Intel Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz 4 Cores 8GB Physical RAM 2x 60GB SSD in RAID0 combination for solution/project VS2010 RTM Ultimate Windows Server 2008 x64 R2 (Performance set for Applications) Although it is sad to hear that the answer is "buy faster hardware" when my hardware is actually pretty good.

To avoid extending startup time, Visual Studio loads extensions using an on demand approach. This behavior means that extensions don't open immediately after Visual Studio starts, but on an as-needed basis.
You might have extensions installed that slow Visual Studio down. For help on managing extensions to improve performance, see Change extension settings to improve performance. Similarly, you might have tool windows that slow Visual Studio down.
No. No app will slow down your computer unless you use it. Any app that you invoke will have an effect on RAM and processing, so they all “slow down” a computer. If you have enough resources (RAM, SSD, fast processor), you will not notice the effect.
I recommend you consider to install some hotfixes from http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads. I had also havy performance problems before and seen messages like "insufficient memory" during Cut & Paste operations. This problem and some other (inclusive different Memory leak problems) are already hixed. After installing some hotfixes from http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads the performance of Visual Studio on my computer is much better.
