Visual Studio 2012 intermittently locks up on me. I notice that devenv.exe jumps to 50% CPU utilization. The CPU stays at this level for a few minutes and then drops. While its at 50% utilization I can still use the IDE. However, intermittently it stops responding (as though it was performing some sort of background process). It only lasts for a few seconds.

Also this happens when debugging.

I'm running under Windows 7 and I'm using Telerik controls.

I've disabled add-ins and extensions and have had no success.

Any ideas would be appreciated?

Thanks
