[dba-VB] Is VS 2010 extremely slow?

Hi All --

Yes, VS2010 looks slower than VS2008, and VS2010 is a "memory-hog" for sure
but that's all I have found so far.
Well, one other thing I have got VS2010 GPF-in while in design/IDE mode with
"Out Of Memory" error message after about a day of working with it with
about 10 projects in a solution.
And I have had here on the same simple 2 core 2GB Win2003 PC three or four
instances of VS2008 with many projects in every solution used without
problems for days...

Anyway I do suppose/hope MS should solve most of the issues in VS2010
because the issues AFAIU are mostly caused by the fact that MS developers
have rewritten all/most of IDE using managed code (WPF), and solving memory
leakage issues of managed code is a tough task but doable (memory leakage in
managed code are mainly related to all kinds of "hooks"/delegates/event
listeners and that ones can be "unhooked" after accurate code review - MS
developers, I guess, simply didn't have enough time for that work because of
VS2010 release schedule forced by MS marketing "army"...)... 

BTW, in that current context of VS2010 being "memory-hog" and slower than
VS2008 it's a good time to start using Test Driven Development if you
haven't yet started to use it..

Would be also great if MS will release VS2008 SP2 supporting C#4.0 and .NET
Framework 4.0...

Thank you.

I have to agree with some of the comments there ... 
the one that really puts a lump in my throat is "it will take decades to get
back to a 'Rapid Quality Application Development'"

I installed 2010 and it seems to be a dog!

Anyone else with a similar experience?
