I have windows XP PRO, visual CPP 2003, a project with 30000 LOC. It takes me about 20 second to load the project in visual. How long does it take your computer to load your project? Thanks in advance.

well... I dont really see the point of measuring the loading time of a project in MSVS but:

(at work)
Mine loads in roughly 5 seconds and it has quite a lot more than 30k worth of lines of code spread in loads of files. However I only have one or two open at the time (i tend to close most of them before I close vs).

Also it a lot of people are using Source Safe simulaneously then it takes quite a lot longer since it needs to check up my files state.

Are you using some kind of CVS?

The LOC in a workspace (you can't open a project - if you try a workspace will get created) have very little to do with how long it takes to open.

More important are:
- The number of projects in the workspace
- The number of open documents in the workspace (and the LOC in those documents)
- Whether you are using an integrated source control system

At work a workspace containing 20 projects, each ~30 files using Rational Clearcase takes about 30 seconds to load.
