VS2010 repeatedly showing animated icon

Visual Studio 2010 is repeatedly showing this animated icon in the bottom right next to the "Ln" every 2 seconds. And even if VS is minimized, it makes my cursor briefly show an hourglass every time. Can someone tell me what this icon stands for?

Unknown icon

Edit: Showing the icon during a build also. Build icon is on left, mystery icon in middle.

The icon seems to be related to Intellisense. I noticed that vcpkgsrv.exe was starting and exiting quickly over and over. Although I had a large project.sdf file, Intellisense was not working in my project.

I found this KB from Microsoft related to VS2010 Intellisense issues on XP (I'm running XP). When I installed the hotfix, the problem went away.
