Favorite improvement of Visual Studio 2010 so far…

My most favorite improvement in Visual Studio 2010 so far is…accidently mousing over the Toolbox tool window for the first time now only takes 5 seconds before you gain control of Visual Studio, rather than the 30+ seconds it took in Visual Studio 2008.

I heard on the grape vine that they did a bunch of perf work around improving this exact scenario. Now if they could just spend some time on that pesky Add References dialog…

While a big improvement, can't they just spin up a background thread that loads the toolbox? This seams to me default UI stuff. That it takes a while to use it isn't that of a problem, waiting before you can do anything is just annoying.

They have or should have worked on that Add References dialog.. You can find that here blogs.msdn.com/.../visual-studio-10-your-performance-feedback-plus-beta-1.aspx

Might be for the next release though..
