Got a wacky solution for slow debugging in VS 2005!

[shaul...@gmail.com]

So I have a HUGE solution in VS 2005, involving about 50+ projects in
VB, C# and J#. And since I migrated from VS 2003, debugging has been
PAINFULLY slow, >2 sec per debugging step!

So by accident, one of my colleagues discovered that if you wiggle your
mouse while you're debugging, everything works normally! I tried it on
my computer, and guess what! He was right! Near instantaneous
response, just the way it used to be in VS 2003!

I have two theories to explain this phenomenon:

1) VS 2005 is so high powered that normal mains power is insufficient
for debugging mode and you need to generate a little extra kinetic
energy from the mouse to make it run at a decent speed.
2) Somebody in MS really screwed up the event processing management in
debug mode.

Eagerly awaiting the hotfix for this bug...

P.S. if you have the same problem with your edition of Visual Studio,
and the wiggle-the-mouse-while-using-keyboard-shortcuts solution works
for you, please do me the courtesy of sending me a simple "thanks"
email, just so I can have that warm fuzzy feeling that I made a
difference to somebody else's world... :)
