Visual Studio: Why is there no 64 bit version? (yet)

Disclaimer: This is yet another of my trademarked "approximately correct" discussions From time to time customers or partners ask me about our plans to create a 64 bit version of Visual Studio. When is it coming? Why aren’t we making it a priority? Haven’t

Visual Studio 2010 Performance Part 2: Text Editor

Part 1 of this series talked about the startup problems we face. In Part 2, I want to talk about the editor. Many people have reported that editing with the new editor is slower. I’ve experienced the same thing myself so I certainly do not want to accuse

Visual Studio 10 -- Your Performance Feedback plus Beta 1

At Microsoft you can't say you're excited about anything you have to say that you're "super excited". I don't know why that's just the way it is . So, I'm happy to say that I'm super excited about the release of Beta 1 and I encourage you all to visit

Visual Studio -- working on performance

Jason has a new posting on the progress of Visual Studio and I wanted to chime in myself. Some people have been wondering what I’ve been up to… I think you’ll be happy to hear that about 2 months ago I put down a bunch of my long term planning responsibilities

Performance Advice, Southern Style

While I was at PDC2008 I was introduced to Keith and Woody -- pretty soon there was a microphone in front of me and we were doing a podcast. Now I already liked these guys but when they used a picture of me from about 1998 I really liked them a lot more.

Is Performance a "functional" requirement?

We had an internal thread on this yesterday, maybe I was a little too glib but here is what I had to say about the topic [edited so it can be read standalone] The original question, “Is performance a functional requirement” is highly unexciting for me.

Even though I've been doing general architecture work on Visual Studio for nearly a year now, my friends in DDPERF are still plugging away on performance problems and finding some interesting results. This most recent thread is very interesting because

Shutdown Is No Time For Spring Cleaning

I think my current performance pet peeve is shutdown. Assorted flavors of it, they all seem to have the same kind of problem. Sometimes we're stuck with it... but maybe we shouldn't be? This is one time when our basic training, which normally I love so

Performance Quiz #13 -- Linq to SQL compiled query cost -- solution

Well is there really a "solution" at all in general? This particular case I think I constrained enough that you can claim an answer but does it generalize? Let's look at what I got first, the raw results are pretty easy to understand. The experiment I

Performance Quiz #13 -- Linq to SQL compiled queries cost

I've written a few articles about Linq now and you know I was a big fan of compiled queries in Linq but what do they cost? Or more specifically, how many times to you have to use a compiled query in order for the cost of compilation to pay for itself?

Rico's Instrumentation Aphorisms

A few months ago, Mary Gray of the Management Practices Team came to talk to me about good practices for creating performance counters and doing measurements generally. She interviewed me on the topic for about an hour and was madly scribbling notes the
