VS2005 Beta 2 & VSS - Slow & Strange
SourceSafe is on a server, solution/projects are on yet another server.
Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?
Which SourceSafe plug-in are you using, Visual SourceSafe (for LAN access) or Visual SourceSafe (Internet)? You can check on the Tools | Options | Source Control | Plug-in Selection | Current source control plug-in.
Also when you say "SourceSafe is on a server, solution/projects are on yet another server" do you mean the SourceSafe database is on one server and your working folders with your solution/projects are on another? Or are you using VSS Internet with the web service on one machine and the SourceSafe database on another?
What OS are you using for the servers? You may run into the 10 connection limit if you are using Windows XP for either server. Running "net sessions" on the server when you see the slowdown can show you if you have hitting a share connection limit.

Hi J.,
Is is possible that an antivirus or any other disk-monitoring software was recently installated and is interferring?
If you do run an antivirus (either on the server or the client machines), can you turn it off temporarilly and see if that helps getting rid of the blockages?
Thanks,
Alin
