I'm using visual studio 2008 and ReSharper 4 and it's kind of slow. My machine has 2 GB of RAM, dual core processor and a 7200 rpm hard disk. I know more RAM and a faster hard disk could improve performance, but do you have any tips to improve ReSharper/Visual Studio performance?

Visual Studio optimisations: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8440/visual-studio-optimizations#8453
Edit: The above SO post has unfortunately been deleted and is replaced with a web archive link.
Microsoft have provided some tips that essentially boil down to turning off features you don't need and reducing solution size by splitting up a solution into smaller self contained solutions where appropriate.
JetBrains has also provided an article that list a whole range of tweaks you can make to both Resharper settings and Visual Studio settings to improve performance.

Mainly open Visual Studio options (Tools | Options) and configure the preferences as follows:
Environment | General: disable Automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance, disable Enable rich client visual experience, enable Use hardware graphics acceleration if available. These adjustments will reduce UI lags and improve overall performance.

Having too many projects within your solution also appears to be a factor when it comes to performance. I have no real evidence of this but from my experience, less projects equates to better performance.
If consolidating projects is not an option then create an alternate solution file so you can add only the existing projects that are relevant to the work you are doing.

I'm having the exact same issue, and from the JetBrains site, it looks like they sort-of know about it but aren't admitting anything. Turning off solution-wide analysis does seem to help quite a bit.
