Visual Studio 2010 - Slow XAML loading issue

As Silverlight developer I use to design my interfaces directly via XAML and use Expression Blend when I need to see design. Visual Studio has an integrated Design window, wich has the bad attitude to drastically increase XAML's loading time.

If you don't need to use the Design window, you can try (both) this two tips to increase performances:


Right click on XAML document -> Open With... ->
Select Source Code (Text) Editor and
Click on Set as Default 


Tools -> Options -> TextEditor -> XAML -> Miscellaneous
Check Always open documents in XAML view;

Uncheck Automatically populate toolbox items.
