title: How to speed up Visual Studio 2008? Add more resources?
body: <p>I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (with the latest service pack)
  I also have ReSharper 4.5 installed.
  ReSharper Code analysis/ scan is turned off.
  OS:  Windows 7 Enterprise Edition</p>
  
  <p>It takes me a long time (2 minutes) to run the debugger, compiler, and if I save a file in my app_code folder it locks up for 2 minutes.</p>
  
  <p>I have 12 Gb of ram and as you can see I have plenty more.
  This screen shot was taken when VS was frozen/locked up.</p>
  
  <p>Can I allocate more ram to VS? Or is there any other tweaks I can do?</p>
