Everytime something C# is posted it's all about MS and why some like or dislike C# or .Net, rarely are the comments related to the actual article.

Personally, I think this new feature is cool, but I've come to realise that my visual studio freezes way more then initially, I think this might be because I've got a few addons installed (ex: Demon, Resharper ...etc) I wonder what will be the overall performance impact of this.



ReSharper is an infamous hog. It makes VS freeze up, devours memory, and devours extra CPU cycles with background threads.

It is at least a really useful add-on...


Unbelievably true. I installed it on a VS2010 dev VM and it slowed my near-instant loading to a minute or more. It's a standard tool at work, but my word is it a hog.


This. We just blew away 50 licenses because on our project it's a hindrance even on our E5 Xeons with 24Gb RAM and SAS+SSD disks.


I develop on an HP win 7 3 gig of ram... imagine my pain.


I'll take one if they're just going to waste ;)
