ajax "debug" slowly takes longer to load symbols

[Joe Stateson]

I added ajax to an existing web project. It runs fine but hitting F5
(debug) in Visual Studio 2005 slowly consumes resources: Kernel Memory and
System Cache grow and I start seeing

"Loading symbols for
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Web.Extensions\1.0.61025.0___\System.Web.Extensions.dll"

in the VS2005 footer. After several hours of coding and debugging it can
take 2 minutes before that "loading symbols" finally finishes. Restarting
VS2005 does not solve the problem, but rebooting does and Kernel and Cache
are back down. I had not noticed a problem like this before and assume it
is ajax and not my project but I could be mistaken.

Even terminating debug in VS2005 can take 30 seconds when the project is
stuck loading the symbols. "start without debug" always works fine or
starting the page from localhost

Joe,

I had to restart my machine server times also.

Hope someone can help....

Sorry - Somehow I had two references to the ajax extensions under
<assemblies> in web.config. One at the beginning and the other one at the
end. After removing the second reference the problem seems to have gone
away.
