VS2008 Performance

I have been having some performance problems with Visual Studio 2008 web applications.  I see a delay when working on aspx pages.  Just typing, adding controls, or switching between Design to Code view (or even Split) would spike the cpu a little and freeze up for 10-15 seconds.

I found this forum post which fixed my issue completely. It seems to be related to the HTML validation.

Here's the change which worked for me:

Tools --> Options --> Text Editor --> HTML --> Validation and clear the 'Show errors' checkbox to completely disable any HTML validation at all.

Good tip! I have a really fast system at the office that I wasn't having any issues with, but this really helped on my single-core system at home. Thanks for sharing.
