Visual Studio takes a lot of extra time loading symbols for external dlls which I'd rather not load. I have fiddled with my symbol settings in VS2008 and these settings seem to be affecting VS2010
How do I stop it loading 3rd party symbols?
I've tried:
The next thing would be a VS re-install, failing that an OS re-install, but if it saves me 14 seconds every time I press debug it would be worth it.

You may have a symbol server or symbol path set in your symbol settings (Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols) that is being queried every time a dll is loaded. You can disable, or delete any such paths.
A program database file (extension . pdb) is a binary file that contains type and symbolic debugging information gathered over the course of compiling and linking the project. A PDB file is created when you compile a C/C++ program with /ZI or /Zi or a Visual Basic, Visual C#, or JScript program with the /debug option.
The easiest way to use the PDB file is to let Visual Studio do the heavy lifting - either launch your program with Visual Studio's "Debug" command (F5 by default), or run the program and use the "Attach to Process" item in Visual Studio's Debug menu.
Try Debug -> Delete All Breakpoints
