Building a VS2010 project consumes extra resources


I have many projects I work on normally, but I have one that consumes a max of CPU resources after building, system (windows server 2008) becomes very slow . and this issue has started last week, I don't remember that I have changed neither project nor VS2010 settings.

What can be the problem ?

Thanks


Solution

  • Your Visual studio is probably configured to max out the threads during the build process, you will see lots of temporary threads being created, you can limit this in

    'Tools>Options>Project and Solutions>Build and Run'

    and modify the 'maximum number of parallel project builds'
