Decrease time to attach & load symbols
debug-symbols, pdb-files, visual-studio, visual-studio-debugging
Solution
Make sure your symbol path includes a local cache directory so that it doesn't download symbols from Microsoft's public symbol server every time you attach.
Also, I haven't tried this with Visual Studio, but you may also be able to set up an exclusion list identifying modules for which you don't have symbols.
Problem
Generally speaking, what are your recommendations on this? Currently takes close to 10 minutes for me to attach to a locally running IIS process hosting SharePoint 2007.
