Any one realize that the new VC++ 2005 is very slow (compile, normal IDE
editing, compiled code runs slower and exe size is larger) compare to
VC++ 2003, I was quite excited when I switched the 2003 to 2005 last
night, but now I am regret that I uninstalled my VC++ 2003 and plan to
reinstall back tonight :'(

I have the same feeling like you.
It take a long time to save a file. Even it is a single file with 200 lines.
The vs take about more than one minute to save the file.

If you have messed around with code snippets at all you might want to give this a try:

Deny Read/Write access to the expansionsxml.xml file in the \Documents and Settings\USERNAME\local settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\1033

It seems that visual studio has some inefficiency when writing to this file... which stores information on code snippets...

VS2005 used to hang for like 10 seconds every time I saved a file even if there were no changes. After denying read/write access to it there is no pause at all.
