Hi all!

We're developing a (set of) large C++ Application and are going to
upgrade from VS2005 to VS2010 sooner rather than later anyway.

For people that have done the switch or are planning to do so and
already have done some more in-depth testing (or know some review
resources on the web that are not bogged down with .NET related blabla)
what I would be very interested in:
* For a given heavily multi threaded C++ Windows/MFC desktop
Application, what *immediate* benefits or *immeditate* downsides do you
see for VC++2005 vs. VC++2010

- Project/solution load times (think a few hundred sub-projects per
solution)
- Performance and Memory footprint of IDE
- Intellisense functioning (think Boost)
- Intellisense performance (CPU load, update times)
- Overall Compile times
- Better compiler warnings?
- Performance of created executable better/worse (might be due to
additional checks?)
- *IDE* MFC support (not the additional classes in the lib)
- help/MSDN integration?

thanks,
Martin
