Great tips on how to speed up Visual Studio 2008! Combine this with the hotfix and SP1, and…it’s almost as fast as Visual Studio 2005. 😉

1. Turn off validation
2. Turn off the Navigation Bar
3. Show Live Semantic Errors
4. Track changes
5. Animate environment tools
6. Compile for the correct platform
7. Speed up debugging by removing breakpoints
8. Formatting XML for easy diff
