VS2005 can drag its heels, even just opening an innocent SQL script into the IDE can cause delays of around 20 seconds on my reasonably fast PC.

I've not been able to resolve all these issues, but I do have 2 performance tips that can help generally (and I'll add more as when I find any!)

Turn off HTML errors in the IDE if you don't need them. Goto Tools->Options, and then expand "Text Editor", "HTML", and click "Validation". Turn off "Show Validation".
Favour IIS for your web apps rather than on-disk locations. Not sure why, but it makes a big difference generally.
