If that is actually true, then you do not have a high quality workstation.

See, I always get this response, but no one has yet to prove to me that VS can open and be ready to use in less than a minute. I'd like to see video, until then I'll keep believing VS users are incapable of keeping time.

  Actually, I was responding to the bit about it crashing when you move the mouse wrong. Complaining about how long VS takes to start up is about as useful as complaining about how long it takes the computer to boot. Neither are part of my daily work flow. I don't shutdown the computer, and I don't generally close VS 2010. Anyway, I was curious and I timed it. I clocked about 12 seconds to completely start VS2010 on a computer with a spinning disk. And just for you, I made a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oNOmA2OozQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oNOmA2OozQ

    A+ for following through, thank you. I wish my experience weren't so sour.

      And here I was, all prepared to think bad thoughts in your direction and you have to go and be all reasonable. What has the internet come to?

  I made this just for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A78RVmhoGMw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A78RVmhoGMw Visual Studio opens in 2 to 3 seconds.

    Wow that's quick. Would it be too much to ask to see video of you opening a "not-so-small" project? Maybe startup time isn't my chokepoint. But thanks for making the video. And nice title, ha.

      Do you use resharper? I had a nasty issue with something involving resharper and/or mercurial and/or my SSD where it would take 10 seconds to change documents and literally 10 minutes to close after a day's work. I re-cloned my project, started working out of the new repo and it was snappy again. Went from 10 minutes to close VS to about 5 seconds.

  Mine opens in exactly 1 second. But of course, it all depends on the machine specs. I have an i7 2600k, with a vertex 3 ssd. That makes it super quick.

  Sounds like you need to get a SSD!
