visual-studio-2010

I have just upgraded to VS 2010, and I have performance problems which I did not have before (in VS 2008).

The most annoying thing is that it freezes while I work in the text editor. Sometimes when it freezes I see that it is saving auto recovery information, but not always.

Almost anything I do gives an unacceptable long delay, like saving, starting to debug, ending debug session, switching between design and code view, and doing WinForms designing.

I have some parts of my home directory on a mapped network drive. I suspect that that might be a part of the problem. Is it possible to configure VS 2010 to use exclusively local disk for its "internal" work perhaps?

Any hints would be appreciated! Has anyone else experienced these kinds of problems?
