Awesome! Scrolling using PgDown\/PgUp also seems a lot better, particularly with 2 cores it seems pretty snappy. <\/li>\n<li>I think you&rsquo;ve absolutely identified the issue and I appreciate you working with me on this.&nbsp; VS2010 ROCKS! <\/li>\n<li>They&rsquo;ve improved things so much for me that it has become hard to reproduce the problem! <\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s still a lot better than on beta2. It is much, much appreciated!!!! <\/li>\n<li>Overall I&#8217;m seeing improvement on the performance front, but my ability to assess that is still noticeably impeded by stability and functional issues. <\/li>\n<li>Stack overflow crash on converting a particular Makefile project. <\/li>\n<li>Stepping speed in disassembly view is improved now that 511266 has been fixed, but it is still unsatisfactory. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are also making a big push to get all of our internal dogfooders to update to SLCTP 2 and will be following up with a survey once people have had time to get a feel for it.&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve picked up several key dogfooding teams that we&rsquo;re working closely with on their experience, including: Expression, Exchange and CodePlex in addition to the Visual Studio teams.\nWe&rsquo;re not done but it&rsquo;s good to see some progress.&nbsp; SLCTP 2 should be better and by the time we get a more broadly available RC out after the first of the year, I&rsquo;m very optimistic that the problem will be gone and Beta 2 will have proven very successful in helping us make sure we ship a great product.<\/p>\n<p>Brian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We continue to drive for improvements &ndash; trying to make contact with every person who reports issues (via my blog, Connect, Surveys, etc.).&nbsp; We&rsquo;re released on &ldquo;Super-Limited Community Technology Preview&rdquo; to individuals who have reported problems and are on the brink of releasing another.
