Peeps,
I've been woking on a C# Forms Application for a few weeks in VS2010. It's not too complicated in what it needs to do, as in it's most simple state it is connecting to a database (Oracle 11i) and displaying results in a Treeview structure on the form. There's a few bits that detect a change to the search criteria and as thats bieng done the database is being automatically queried.
Problem is, as I continue working on this I have noticed my Laptop is getting slower and slower when VS2010 is open with this project. My employer's chosen Laptop that I have been using is pretty decent as far as a business machine goes, but this slowdown is really annoying me now and wondered if i've overlooked something?
Device manager reports that "devenv.exe" is using a good 1.5-1.7GB of RAM typically, and 50% of the CPU and im not even doing anything (other than writing SQL code and building data sets). Thoughts??
(Laptop is a Toshiba Portege R700, i7 CPU, 3.5GB RAM, Windows XP 64 Bit*)
*dont even get me started. They wont upgrade it for "compatability" reasons.
