title: Slow symbol loading in an ASP.NET Project in VS2012
body: <p>I'm having an issue with loading symbols on my ASP.NET MVC project. The first time I load visual studio and debug my project, symbols are loaded in roughly 2 seconds. I then end the debug session, make a code modification, and debug again, and the symbol load time is about a minute. Based on the research I have done, here are some applicable settings on my machine/VS:</p>
  
  <p>In Options/Debugging/Symbols/Symbol file locations, "Microsoft Symbol Servers" is unchecked, and there are no additional locations.</p>
  
  <p>Options/Debugging/Symbols/Cache symbols in this directory is "G:\Symbol Cache". I did click "Load all symbols" and I have inspected that directory and I see lots of symbols.</p>
  
  <p>Just my code is enabled.</p>
  
  <p>The _NT_SYMBOL_PATH and _NT_ALT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variables are not defined on my machine.</p>
  
  <p>Options/Debugging/Symbols/Automatically load symbols for is set to "Only specified modules", with no modules specified.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried both debug and release builds, with identical results. Ctrl + F5 loads the site almost immediately.</p>
