There are several of us in our office that all use Spider Writer for all of our ASP development. In the past, the other guys have complained a bit about how slow Spider Writer was when working with Visual Source Safe, but I never had any issues and figured they were just a bunch of whiners...
Last week I had a hard drive failure and had to reload XP and all my apps on to a new drive. Something changed. I've joined the ranks of the whiners. I can now confirm: Spider Writer is VERY slow when working with files from source safe. Just checking out (or in) a file can take several minutes. These are tiny .asp files. Before my reload these operations would take just a few seconds. Doing the checkout or in from the VSS 'native' client is fine - just when doing it from within SW do things get very sluggish.
Has anyone heard of this before? Any suggestions to offer? We're game to try just about anything!
