Why is Visual Studio 2005 so slow?

Question

You can’t upload anything except a small project. He slowly leaves; sometimes it may take several minutes. Opening new files may be slow. The macro recording feature used was useful. Now it’s so slow to run it almost always faster to do it manually!

More information would be helpful. How big are your decisions? What platform are you working on? What third-party plugins do you use? What else works on your computer?

3.2 GHz P4 Hyperthreaded, 2 GB RAM. Running Outlook, Perforce, IE7, directories. Usually there are 1-3 copies of VS. Let's say this is much slower than the VC6. It seems that for a long time you need to download projects and close them. I am wondering if people know the reasons why this happens, due to the way VS is written. Does it use .net internally and does the GC slow it down?
