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 ;)
