Maybe it is a bit faster on XP due to a lower base memory requirement. But instead of grading down you should consider grading up: your RAM.

It could be related to the graphics settings that VS2010 uses by default (the move to WPF also meant leveraging more intense graphics). You can turn the graphics settings down in Tools -> Options -> Environment -> General, under the Visual Experience section.

I use it in a Win7-64bit machine and it is about 10 times slower than VS2005, even turning visual experience down...
Probably the only way to speed it up is to disable intellisense or parts of it. Try looking at the options...

1In general, I would recommend you upgrading your RAM. Open a browser while developing, having the email client running and so on consume your RAM. – Andreas – 2010-07-25T17:27:43.113
i think i have enough RAM for now; the problem is not related to RAM usage – None – 2010-07-25T21:43:01.610
