See KBA INFO: Visual SourceSafe System Capacities and Specifications (Q138298) 5. VSS performance is extremely slow. This could be caused by having too many “Dir=” or “Shadow=” entries in one of the ini files. Try to create a directory structure on disk which matches the VSS project tree. Then clean up the extra Dir= and Shadow= entries in the .ini files. That way you only need an entry in your ini file for each “tip” project. If you find that VC++ is very slow now that you’re using the VSS integration, deleting the .NCB file before opening the workspace might help. VC++ 6.0 doesn’t have this problem. Some user have reported the use of Norton Anti Virus 2001 on Win2K significantly slows VSS down.
