If you’ve used Visual Studio 2008, then you probably noticed that it has a tendency to lag once in awhile. I’ve been looking around for the causes and solutions to this problem. It gets pretty annoying while trying to work and having your machine slow down or pause while it is catching up. Some websites I’ve come across say it is caused by the HTML Validation, so turning that off would fix it.
Turn HTML validation off by going to:
Tools > Options... > Text Editor > HTML Editor (or HTML) > Validation
There is also a Hot Fix patch floating around as well that offers a fix for these HTML and scripting issues.
You can read about and download the patch here:
