Question: Is anybody experiencing extreme slowness when using Visual Studio 2008? I have a fairly beefy machine so I don't think hardware is the issue, and I didn't have these issues with 2005. Basically everything that I do is slow, from opening a new project, to opening code, to saving files. All of my Windows Updates are up, I have VS2008 SP1 installed, and I even tried disabling the virus protection.

Answer: 
Disk speed can cause this problem and also add-ins like resharper
Empty your recycle bin. Turn off 'wrap text' in the output window.
