Congradulations. I hope you can put your skills to good use there, as VS really could use some help in the performance department.

Good news!

Key persons in key roles.

I have good hopes for the future.

Performance has always been a thorn in my side for VS. Now things can only get better.

Best wishes and good luck !

Congrats!

Enjoyed your perf comments on LINQ to SQL and will look forward to how Matt and his gang have improved the perf when Beta 2 arrives.

Hopefully, you'll boost VS 2008's perf a bit, too.

For your career that's obviously an impressive move and I congratulate you.

For your company's products, I'm puzzled. If Windows Explorer would open 10 seconds faster, billions of people would benefit, several times a day. If Outlook Express would open 1 minute faster, hundreds of millions of people would benefit, every day. If Visual Studio compiles programs faster, tens of thousands of people will benefit, several times a day. If Visual Studio compiles programs faster at the expense of either failing to perform optimizations or (worse) generating bad code due to failing to analyse whether the optimizations are safe, hundreds of millions of end users will be damaged. It seems to me that the speed of Visual Studio's own operations shouldn't be a priority (except for a few known problems).

Hey!

Congrats, Rico, and great news for us Visual Studio slaves! 8-)

I'm wholeheartedly sure you'll do an awesome job, and even as I immensely appreciate your performance-related efforts, you deserve much more space than that. Your experience on dev tools in general and architectural concepts will produce many benefits for us.

Best luck!

Fabien Hure — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:49:21 GMT

Excellent news for you.

I am sure you will do wonders working on VS.

It is critical to have a person like you at this position as the code generated by the future version of VS will improve considerably and that is what's count. I can live with a slow IDE as long as the code produced is improving ...

I wish you all the best

Lee — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:47:13 GMT

Good luck you deserve it...If you're half as good at being a VS Architect as you were doing the perf stuff you'll have no problem :-)

Anyway keep the blogs coming.

Oh yeah now your Mr VS, I'd like to make a recommendation, when an exception throws it would nice in the exceptions wizard to be able to disable catching it in the debugger with one click, instead of having to drill into the exceptions dialog!

Anyway good luck again

Regards

Lee

A case of Visual Studio slowness that you may now be able to get fixed.

Ian Ringrose — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 14:02:26 GMT

We have a solution with about 40 projects in it; each project has between 5 and 10 files in it. There is a mix of “dll”, “WinForms” and “Asp.net” projects.

Sometimes I can land up with lots of windows open, (including WinForms and Aps.Net designers), if MsDev is then paged out (start up another big application) and I then decide that I wish to exit MsDev it can take a VERY long time to exit, as it seems to touch most of it’s pages as part of shutting down. (At his point the only way to get back to work is to pull the power cord out of my PC)

Given the OS will clean up all memory the process is using when it exits, there is no point in doing match at all as part of the exit.

(Likewise close all windows, seems to page them all in before closing them)

Congrats! WRT VS.next please don't forget about the ease of extensibility. Having done a VSIP package, the extensibility story for VS could be much better (don't get me started on CTC files). The API is also a bit of a mess with DTE OM vs the VSIP API (service provider based). I think this is one area that is allowing Eclipse to gain momentum.

Rüdiger Klaehn — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 17:58:36 GMT

Congratulations.

Visual studio desperately needs some performance improvements. It is sometimes almost as slow as eclipse.

But who is responsible for the CLR JIT performance now? The CLR JIT has some really huge performance issues!
