Right Pop up menu coming slowly

Question

When i right click in the text editor in Visual studio 2008 IDE, the Pop Up menu comes at a slower pace. Is there any setting in visual studio that can control this behavior?

Answer 1

After a windows crash my IntelliSense context menu (when clicked over a member/class/declaration) became very slow (~10s to open it). Solution was to close my VS2012, and delete solution cache files (solutionname.suo).

Keep in mind that .suo files are hidden.

After reloading the solution all came back to normal!

Answer 2

You may make VS GUI faster by disabling animation. Uncheck "Animate environment tools" checkbox in tools - options - environment - general. This may help...
