Great language support, but are you addressing the performance issues?

[anhall1]

in fact long, unexplained and random pauses are also in older versions (i call them 'wait for signal from universe')
for me it's often related to putting a new breakpoint (what could take minutes without serious disk, network or cpu access?) or debugging generally
vs2010 ide was rewritten to managed code - are there any (unofficial) parameters we could play with? (f.e. something like often but shorter garbage collections?)
are there any performance statistics depending on hw or os? could investment to more than 4G memory and 64b os bring significant change?

Hi "real name",

When you say that you often get random pauses (especially when setting a new breakpoint), is this during debugging or at design time? Also what language are you debugging/editing, what type of application is it (e.g. console application, WPF application, Windows Form, ASP.NET, etc.), and if the issue is while you are debugging, is .NET source stepping enabled, and do you have anything in your symbol path (Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Symbols)?

Thank you,
