Telerik RadControls + JetBrains Resharper = VERY SLOW, Can anyone help?
Does anyone know how to speed up the Visual Studio IDE when you have Telerik RadControls (both on Windows and the web) and JetBrains ReSharper installed? If I disable ReSharper it wiggles quickly, but I really like ReSharper to discard it. I know it will work better without RadControls. Does anyone know a way to speed it up?

it's the same for me.
I work with Dell XPS 4gb Ram Quad Core Extreme Stripped disks ... And I also had this telerik control issue (mostly aspx - winform not much).
Anyway - I had to make the project using a different set of web controls - and that was as bad as with telerik - or worse ...
What I found (maybe it helps a little):
a.) Going to design slows things down a lot - After that I restart VS
b.) Small solutions (projects) also help (like mika wrote) - if you can split your solution into multiple projects (some cool libraries instead of one big thing)
c.) Use as litte VS addins as possible - I've used a few good tools, but at the moment most of them are reversed because I've done what's better than the fewer add-ons I use.
d.) Run special "refaring sessions" - I mean: turn off the setting, normal coding, and from time to time turn it on and "cross" your code.
This problem (as well as some others) is well canonized (I think) and I would say that not resharper (although this tool seems somewhat special) but telerik is gulty.
It's VS that creates the problems - and I've searched for solutions many times, but in the end I haven't found anything that really helps.
Note. I am currently working on a fairly large project and using respharper is almost impossible. I turned it off - instead I have a lot of nice snippets and macros to help me do some common things.
Conclusion: if telerik + reshaper is slowing down for you, I think you need to decide which helps you more :)
I use telerik controls (ASPX, WPF and Silverlight) in almost every project I do. These tools hold so tightly - I just "need them to survive"

I switched from DevExpress CodeRush / Refactor! on Resharper (not optional) and found the IDE to be pretty much unusable. I managed to convince my boss to let me go back (under my personal license), and now, like back, he is returning to sunlight after months in a cold, damp cave.
I'm guessing what I'm trying to say is that maybe you should consider switching to CodeRush and Refactor!

It doesn't help much, but at least the problem isn't just on your machine ...
Try small solutions . In my machine, this means solutions with less than 100k lines of code. Background compilation makes the IDE sluggish with big decisions. VB has background compilation by default, and even without add-ins, it gets slower as the solution grows in size.
I was unable to use ReSharper or CodeRush / Refactor! with VB and RadControls with over 100k linear solutions, things just slow down too much. I am using Core 2 Duo, 2.4GHz, 4GB.

Taken from Telerik forums:
We are not compatible with JetBrains Resharper. We are competing for the same Visual Studio resources, which can potentially create a ton of problems if you run both add-ins together. I doubt anyone has managed to run them together, but if you know someone who has done this, I would be interested in all the details.
So, you have to disable Resharper to check JustCode. You can re-enable it later, however, but as long as one of them is disabled, they coexist happily.

And I'm sure you will be better off using JustCode only
