What makes VS11 beta so fast?
I have a huge code-gen'd EDMX and the designer opened in about 2 seconds compared to >30 in VS2010. The whole thing is much snappier in every respect and it's a VM with only 2GB ram (although the hyper-v server is pretty powerful and i'm the only one using it now).

Is this the next generation gui framework? Is it WPF?  Am I seeing something new that makes it fast?
