VS 2008 professional "close all documents" very slow

VS 2008 pro closes its editor windows very slowly on my machine. A similar installation on a similar machine is significantly faster.

I have tried several tricks I found with Google to remedy this, but to no avail.

Hardware: Core i7 920 @ 3.6 GHz, 6 GB RAM 1800 MHz, 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint HD

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits

Some users report this problem with VS and Web Dev Express when running projects locally, and you can check that particular & solution issue out here : Link

Other than that, I can only suggest the usual "speed up" cleaning operations that you can do like :

• removing all of your breakpoints
• clean temp files, MRU list, disable autorecover & feedback (See here)

I know firsthand that this will improve your average all-around performance, but I'm not sure if it will put an end to your issue.
