Code Smite

Finally in VMWare 7 you can enable 3d acceleration and not just have VS2010 Beta 2 crash outright. you would hope this would improve performance when doing things like scrolling in the code editor. well it does, just not as much as it should. The WPF guys are doing some nifty eye candy scaling based on your hardware level. So if we want the full performance boost we need to disable the graphical goodies. Ive not seen a way to do this from inside VS but you can do it from regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\General Has AutoAdjustExperiance and VisualEffectsAllowed. If you set them both to 0, Visual studio 2010 will perform much better.
