MSSqlSM studio reacts really slowly

Question

My microsoft Sql Server Management Studio is slow. And by slow I mean >1minute to render a context menu-slow. All other things work perfectly fine. The connection to the database itself is not slow (my app works just fine and context menus don't need connection to the DB anyway I guess)..

Anybody has any idea what I should check to solve this?

--EDIT--

• Cpu is aroun 3%
• Gigs of free ram
• Only clicking right on a table in the object explorer, nothing else
• the database is remote
• It's the full version of MSSQLMS
• No system logging errors
• Reinstall didn't do jack

UPDATE

I installed Toad for SQL and everything works super smooth there. Actually, I find it way more productive then MSSql ever was for me. It's not really an answer to my question, but it certainly a solution.

Answer 1

Have you installed any add-ins/plugins? Those might be the source of the problem.

Answer 2

Does this behavior occur for all SQL Servers you connect to, or just a few in particular? If it's only certain ones, it may be a really slow SQL Server - to get any context menus or list databases, it has to execute some queries against the remote servers to collect information, and if they're less than responsive, SSMS will be too.
