Hi [C]

We've fixed a large number of compiler crashes and many other product issues for VS2008.
I can't promise that all your problems have been fixed BUT I can promise that if you encounter any them (or even new VB related product issues) that we will investigate them.

I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised by the improvements in VS2008. If you do try the product and find any issues please contact us at vbperf@microsoft.com

Hi rsclient,

Since you are referring to an Intellisense file I'm going to assume you mean C++.
The performance improvements listed above refer to Visual Basic and I'm happy to report that for VB the Intellisense story is much improved. We have move some of the expensive first time loading of Intellisense off the UI thread and onto a background thread. This results in a much more responsive UI (the way it should be).

As for C++, try out the VS2008 Beta and if you still see performance issues with Intellisense let them know at vcperf@microsoft.com

Also just a reminder to folks reading this. You can report VB performance issues at vbperf@microsoft.com and C# performance issues at vcsperf@microsoft.com

Thanks.

Hi offwhite,

Unfortunately we can't make any promises about which performance improvements will be ported back to VS2005.
However we are addressing this on a case by case basis and we may have some hotfixes soon that address some of these issues.

I'll try and post an update to this when I have more info.

Thanks
Cameron McColl

Hi simdoc,

I can't really speak for the C++ improvements too much although I understand that they made some significant improvements to Intellisense for 2008.

I would highly recommend you try out your solution with the Beta2 release now that it's available. If you still see performance issues please contact the C++ performance team directly at vcperf@microsoft.com

Thanks.
