While coding in SSMS 2008, IDE response is very slow.

For example a) Intellisense either stops suggesting or takes too much time to suggest values (hangs for 5 secs everytime) and on selecting suggestions takes time to write them in code.

b) Shifting cursor position in the editor during coding takes too much time to respond. Cursor will disappear for 5-30 seconds and SSMS IDE will hang for that time.

c) Writing any code takes time to reflect same in editor. i.e. When typing code, it takes 20 secs to show on editor screen.

Running scripts is as fast as usual and hard drive still has 668 GB free. All the other software is working fine.

This is an unpredictable problem that seems unrelated to anything else. It's doing it today, it might do it the rest of the week or it might not happen again until next week. This machine is only used for SQL dev.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling SSMS? Also, maybe try upgrading to SP2 while you are at it. – MattB Dec 9 '10 at 15:11
I agree with MattB -- reinstall and upgrade -- and be sure to update this post with the result. – echoScout Dec 11 '10 at 14:39
