Visual Studio 2008 freezes when I edit XAML code

Question

My VS2008 SP1 freezes several times a day if I edit the XAML code. It just got stuck, and I have to kill the process. It seems like the problem is with IntelliSense or spell checking or some other process when I edit the code. The problem is very obvious if I copy + paste the code. Even if it's just one word. Many times, VS2008 adds some additional commands to the code and parses things completely.

This has never happened with C # code, only with XAML, it is stuck.

One more thing. It seems that the problem only occurs when editing control templates. I have added several management templates from MSDN pages to my project. When I edit them - even doing simple things like changing the colors of the brush, Visual Studio freezes (sometimes). This doesn't seem to be a common XAML problem, it only happens with management templates.

You can try the following update: Installing DExplorer after VS 2008 breaks xaml intellisense

EDIT: You can try closing the Properties window when editing XAML, this helped me with ASP.NET.
