I recently had a problem with Visual Studio 2008 being extremely slow (Windows 7 64-bit, 4gb ram, quad core processor), particularly when there were build errors or when loading/saving the solution.
The problem ended up being that the suo file for the solution (in the same directory as the solution) had become corrupted and was 250mb. After deleting it and reloading the solution, the file was 250kb and the project was fast again.
If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend making a backup of the corrupt suo file before deleting it, as I'm sure Microsoft would like to see it (log a bug at Microsoft Connect) - I deleted mine without thinking.
I had the problem when I tried working under Vista as well. It turned out to be traceable to a problem with an out-of-date version of ReSharper. Ultimately I abandoned ReSharper for other reasons (mostly the move to VS 2010). In addition, I also experienced a significant improvement in performance when I moved to Windows 7 (64-bit professional). Just a thought, your results may vary.
