I've noticed Visual Studio 2010 is a lot slower than my Visual Studio 2008 EDI, I've found several nice tips and optimization suggestions for VS2008, however I want to know if people have any tips for me and VS2010

Two parts to the answer:
First, I'd really appreciate if you could download this diagnostic tool to take traces. It isn't a fix, but it'll help us improve the product. If you send me an email (noahric at msft), I can send you instructions and find a place for you to upload these traces. Same goes for anyone else reading this question/answer; the more traces, the merrier.
Other than that, there are a few things you can try:
- In Tools->Options->Environment->General, turn off "Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance", and turn off the rich client visual experience.
- You can also try turning off hardware graphics acceleration (from the same location). I've found plenty of cases where the performance is better with software rendering.
- If you are working with really large solutions, try the solution load manager. It lets you disable auto-loading of projects within a solution.
- Do you have any extensions installed? If you do, you can try disabling them.
- Run fewer instances of VS at once. I personally run quite a few at a time, but I've heard plenty of reports where people run enough instances of VS to exhaust virtual memory.
