I do not know if anyone is having this problem but when running VS 2010 I was having to shut it down 2 to 4 times a hour because after 5 minutes it keep getting slower to where I could type five letters and 10 seconds later they would show up or to move cursor with mouse would take 15 seconds etc.......
This seemed to of fixed it a setting 'Use graphic hardware acceleration.
Also on a 64-bit I did not notice a difference and the option did not slow it down and VS is 32 bit
