Wow. That's really cool. The slow solution load time has been really pissing me off for a while now. Emptying this directory fixed this problem completely for me. I recommend everyone do this.
The wacky bit about that directory is that (for me at least) it's a bunch (31000+) of empty directories. Just opening the directory up to look at it took almost 10 minutes for me. Someone on the net said it took him two hours to delete the files. I recommend that you do it from the command-line. I did some searching using my favorite search engine and found the following tidbit: === http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=347228 Our problem is that developers are accumulating massive numbers of directories and files (24,000+ directories in one case) in the %userroot%\Local Settings\ApplicationData\Microsoft\WebSiteCache directory. Our solutions tend to have upward of 150-200 projects so this is a real problem. We are also seeing the following unnecessary lines (for windows apps!) in our .sln files that seem to be causing the issue: ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject Debug.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "True" Release.AspNetCompiler.Debug = "False" EndProjectSection === Apparently, the unnecessary insertion of these lines is a known bug in VS2005 that's fixed in VS2008. Maybe the new solution/project generator will solve this for us by omitting these lines from the sln.
