Is there any way to disable VA X when launching VS and turn it back on only when needed? Since it will cause some lag. I seem can't find the option either in VS's option or VA's option.

Hold the shift key down when Visual Studio starts up - this will prevent all addins from loading (at least in more recent versions of Visual Studio).

In VS2013,

  1. On the Tools menu, click Extensions and Updates.
  2. In the Extensions and Updates dialog box, locate Visual Assist.
  3. Disable it.

Visual Assist has a command to disable its features; Enable/Disable is located on the Visual Assist menu. You could run that command (for example via a macro) at startup, then re-enable when you wanted to you use its features. However, you can't do this at the same time as preventing it from loading.
