Visual Studio 2010 is slow (typing/intellisense etc)

From time to time I'm struggling with Visual Studio 2010 being very slow. One thing that popped into my head is that perhaps VS stores some files (cache, solution settings etc) is locations that on my machine are mapped to remote locations (like user settings). Do you know where I can check paths that VS uses to store its files? Or perhaps you can think of other issues that cause VS to slow down?

I found a solution that worked for me... honestly, i have no clue why it works but it's just a checkbox.

Go to
Tools ==> Options ==> Environment ==> General ==> Visual Experience

Then UNTICK
Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance

And UNTICK
Use graphics hardware acceleration if available

Unfortunately, the only possible thing you could do is restart Visual Studio and if that doesn't work, restart your computer. You should also double check that you have the recommended memory space installed and available on your machine, and that other processes are not hogging it.
