Slow code generation and windows form loading

Hello,

I am experiencing extremely long time for loading a windows form in my Visual C++ .NET project.
This Windows form has just 40 labels, 4 checkBoxes, 2 buttons and 11 numericUpDown.
It takes several minutes to load this form in the form designer when I double click on the .h
file in the Visual Studio .NET Solution Explorer. It gets worse with another form that has
more controls.

It gets really dramatic when I try to compile in Release configuration (compilation
in Debug configuration is fine) or when I select another language to localise the form with the
form designer. That can take up to 20 minutes every time I compile in Release config after a modification
or for loading each of the three localisation languages for the form in the form designer.
Then not only the IDE gets blocked, but also everything else on the machine (2 GHz machine
with 512 Mb, same is true with a Centrino 1.6 GHz with 512 Mb). It is the "devenv.exe" process
that uses 100% processor resources during all this time.

Is there any parameter to set or any fix available?
Please help, this behaviour is really driving me crazy.

Thanks
JC
