Visual Studio 2010 is suddenly slowing down

Recently, the VS2010 editor suddenly became slow when I installed some extensions and then uninstalled them. The program itself works fine and starts in seconds. Jumping around the menu is lightning fast, but editing the code between the keyboard and the editor is 1 second.

This happens in a completely new console application project in which there is nothing. I also removed all extensions, resharper, etc. The remaining extensions remain VisualHg, Ankh and Nuget.

I have an i7 with 16 gigabytes of RAM, so the hardware is NOT a problem.

Is there any cache or files that VS could block?

How can I find out what causes the problem?

Well thanks to the @ jv42 suggestion, I installed the perfwatson extension and figured out the problem. Since then I have added some extensions and VS2010 works better than ever before.

I still don’t know what caused the problem.

I would find a rollback point before installing the plugins. You may have malware installed using the plugin, but it was not part of the removal. It may just be that the uninstall did not delete something that was installed that caused the problem. Most likely, it will be much faster for you to find the rollback point and start there, rather than trying to figure out which process is causing your problem and where it is connected to the registry.
