Visual Studio .NET 2003 Performance Hi, Thank you for a great product! We just placed a preorder for 5 licenses for our development team. But it can get better. I am running Visual Studio .NET 2003 in Parallels VM, on Windows XP SP2 (fully updated) with Parallels extensions installed (beta 6). I am using a MacBook Pro with 1GB RAM, and have allocated >700Mb for the parallels VM. (I will get 2gb of RAM soon enough). Once VS.NET is started, XP reports more than 400Mb available RAM. Visual Studio also have the Whole Tomato Visual Assist add-in installed. Starting the development environment takes up to 2 minutes, and I can't find any reason at all for this. Opening a quite large project that resides on the virtual drive is fast, as is compiling in this scenario. Normal startuptime for VS.NET with Visual Assist installed is less than 10 seconds. However, opening the same project from a mounted folder on OSX (host-only networking) takes even longer - and compiling is 5 - sometimes 10 - times slower. This is a major issue for us, since we want to be working with the same files in several simultaneous environments (SuSE Linux, Windows and OSX). The networking performance is not up for this. So, that's two issues that I think is clearly Parallels related - VS.NET startup time (has never experienced that before, not in Virtual PC on PowerMac or Windows, or on barebone machine), and bad performance of networking to the local Mac. Any ideas? ::Ludvig A. Norin HansaWorld Development http://www.hansaworld.com |
