The Performance Guide collects some of the settings, both Visual Studio’s and ReSharper’s, that have a track record of deteriorating the performance of Visual Studio with ReSharper. Realizing this made us develop an actual ReSharper feature called Performance Guide that is now available in ReSharper 2017.3 EAP. However, it’s one thing to provide documentation that you’re not guaranteed to even discover, and a totally different thing to provide performance improvement recipes right in the product. When we find an issue that is beyond ReSharper, we do report those issues to Microsoft, but we have little control over the way Microsoft addresses these issues.Īs a result of an extensive experience interacting with users and helping them find workarounds to performance issues, we have developed a Speeding up ReSharper and Visual Studio help article which collects and prioritizes known performance improvement recipes. We’ve consistently received feedback on Visual Studio being slow with ReSharper and are fixing reproducible issues to improve how ReSharper impacts the performance of Visual Studio. Integrating one into the other is an insanely complex affair that sometimes creates problems for the end user. ReSharper is an application with a powerful semantic model of 10+ programming languages and thousands of features. Visual Studio is an application which services many developers across Windows, the Web and multiple Cloud and Mobile platforms.
