I am on Resharper 4.x and VS2008.

R# seems to slow down the living crap out of VS2008. And of course, the memory usage can easily go to 500MB on a middle of the road Winforms solution with 7-8 projects.

Now that Resharper 5.x is out, can anyone tell me whether either perf or memory issues have been improved for use with VS2008?

  • Not really, but I think it's more or less "as designed". However there is a magic button that you can switch on/off and it will stop R# background activity. – Simon Mourier Dec 20 '10 at 07:28

I believe R#5 memory usage is better than the earlier versions but still too slow for me. I'm using it with VS2010 on a decent machine (quad core, 7200rpm HDD, 4GB ram). Using a solid state drive might help.

It is faster, and not so hungry for RAM, but I have tweaked its code inspection a bit.

  • Can you share what you have tweaked that requires less RAM? Last I checked Visual Studio 2010 the root cause was memory fragmentation caused by things like R#'s "Find Usages..." feature. Whenever I use that feature a lot, I get out of memory exceptions. – John Zabroski Nov 30 '12 at 20:34

I am on Resharper 6.1, and there are still OutOfMemoryException issues. JetBrains claims this is an issue with Visual Studio process fragmentation.
