Speed Up Microsoft Visual Studio

Speed Up Visual Studio 2008
Some people says,
Microsoft Visual Studio 9 ( 2008 )
and Microsoft Visual Studio 8 ( 2005 ) are too slow.
This is wrong...
You can speed up performance of the Microsoft Visual Studio Series.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio version 9,
but I think, these speed hacks also available on version 8.
So, let's try to improve performans of the visual studio.

First of all, you should download all updates for your visual studio
and install them. and do these steps for making an additional speed hacks;

Here’s a few things I’ve tried that have worked at least most of the time:

1> Remove of the splash screen:
Go to your shortcut of the visual studio; right click and add "/nosplash" to the shortcut. An example:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /nosplash

2> Turn off window animation:
Open Visual Studio and on the tool bar;
Go to Tools > Options > Environment > and uncheck "Animate environment tools"

3> Close the Navigation Bar:
Open Visual Studio and on the tool bar;
Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C#
and uncheck the "Navigation bar".
[ You can do this step for Html / General and C# / General ]

4> Empty project window:
Open Visual Studio and on the tool bar;
go to In Environment > Startup, change the "At Startup" setting to
"Show Empty Environment" and Uncheck "Download content every 60 Minutes"

With these hacks, Your Visual Studio will work ~%60 faster.
