Visual Studio 2010 very slow, unusable

My mouse lags over menus too! For menus that are grayed out, it is fine. But for active menus, the mouse feels sticky when moving over them.

One solution i tried and it works is disable rich user experience and disable hardware acceleration.

Tools -> Options -> Environment (General) -> Visual Experience -> uncheck Use hardware graphics accelerator if available.

I have a good graphic card, but stopping visual studio from using graphics hardware makes my mouse sooo smooth now!
