Dave: you may want to try the publicly available VS2010 RC on the "real metal" (no VM). I don't think the performance is bad... Giovanni

I don't - at least not until RTM :) I run all dev tools under VMs these days - it makes it easy when I have to use alternate versions without having to worry about whether they'll fight each other.

I agree with Giovanni - on a Windows 7 with plenty of RAM, VC2010 RC is not bad at all. Bo Persson
From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 27 Feb 2010 10:43 I'm running 2010 under VMWare WS6.5. But as I said, everything is a bit slow. And it also slows down my other apps running on the base machine. joe On Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:26:33 +0000, David Lowndes <DavidL(a)example.invalid> wrote: >>I found my VM-based stuff to be unbelievably slow, slower even than the non-VM-based >>applications.

>Right, but how do you then know if the performance problem is with the >tools or the VM? Only by contrasting performance with a similar VM on the same host. I know it's not a reliable method, but it's the way I choose to do things these days, and it's definitely much slower than VS2005. >I agree with Giovanni - on a Windows 7 with plenty of RAM, VC2010 RC >is not bad at all. It's not bad on my i7 machine in a VM, but in a VM on a lesser capable host, I find it's quite noticeably slower. It may be the straw that breaks the camel's back on that machine, I've tried increasing the RAM allocation but that didn't seem to have much benefit. Dave |
