Am I the only one seeing this?
From the start VS.NET 2005 and the orca pre-releases are slow and require huge amounts of memory. (Yes i have a normal 'decent' pc, 3 GHZ, 2 GB RAM running XP SP2 )
Some examples:
- start vs.net and open a .xml (or even worse a .xaml file)
Takes ages before we can see & edit the file

- choose file->new project->C# wpf application.
Takes ages, consumes 99% cpu and when its finally done requires
170MB memory and around 170MB virtual memory

This gets worse very quickly when your application consists of 6 or more assemblies
and perhaps 50 classes. I use VS.NET 2005 daily for work, and it is not uncommon that VS.NET takes up 300MB-600MB memory, and thats just directly after loading the project

I really hope the VS.NET team will fix this and make it perform like VisualStudio 6 again
before releasing another resource hungry version of vs.net
