visual studio 2010 c++ load time

This is probably way too vague for any concrete answers, but this issue has been bothering me so I figured I'd give it a shot here:

Every time I hit F5 to run a project (and I'm talking something tiny 2 - 3 source files), first of all half the time it tells me that I need to rebuild the project even if the only change I made was add a breakpoint a开发者_开发问答nd then takes maybe ~20s to actually get the program running. This is a very basic command-line program and with gcc everything happens much, much faster. Any ideas?

When using VS2010 on older operating systems (Like WinXP), then one should make sure to install latest UIA (Windows Automation) component MS KB971513. Failing to do this will cause VS2010 to perform poorly.

The long waiting time before VS actually starts the application when hitting F5 occurs in VS 2008 as well. The simple solution to that is to delete the .suo file. I don't know if VS 2010 uses .suo files, but at least it's something you can try.

This might not be the case, but I remember VS used to act like this when I had lots of breakpoints.
