I am using Visual Assist X for C/C++ code in Visual Studio 2005 but I see that, sometime, when visual studio take focus, the processor is working too much and I cannot type code. If I am waiting somes seconds, it return the focus.
A:
This usually occurs with large files and/or large number of open files and is due to parsing of those files.
This is a known problem on the Visual Assist forum.

Try 'Rebuild' of the Symbol databases and a 'Clear' of the History, cache and temporary files from the 'Performance' tab of the Visual Assist X Options dialog. You can also turn other 'optimizations' off here that may be causing performance problems.

You should really try asking on the Visual Assist forum if you haven't already. They have great support there.
They may have solutions/workarounds for the problem, and if not they probably want to know about the problem so they can fix it.

You may be able to speed up parsing times significantly by modifying settings from the VAssistX menu:
VAssistX | Visual Assist X Options... | Projects | C/C++ Directories
VAssistX | Visual Assist X Options... | Projects | Extensions
This will allow you to flag certain directories as stable which means they won't be repeatedly re-parsed. Adding VC++ header directories (e.g., C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include) and large libraries, such as Boost, to this list should help.
As other have mentioned, the Visual Assist X forums are very helpful.
