Maybe it's your computer then? :-)

VS works perfectly fast enough here thank you... exactly how can an IDE be 
horribly slow? You mean when compiling or starting up or what?

I have Visual C++ 2008 Express here and a moderately complex program (about 
1MB of code in 50 source files using lots of DirectX headers and libraries 
and the Newton Game Dynamics physics library).

Time to open VC++: ~1s
Time to open project: ~1.5s
Time to compile from scratch: ~10s
