Visual Studio 2022 explanation to why searching Locals is incredibily slow and workaround - visual-studio-2022

NOTE: Visual Studio 2022 and not Visual Studio Code.
When debugging searching Locals using the search bar is incredibily slow (way more than 60 seconds for some searches). Even if I were to search a million lines with grep it would be instantaneous so somehow I must have misunderstood what operation the search bar in Locals actually does.
Is there any explanation as to why it is incredibily slow and how do I search for a variable name or value in my locals efficiently? (I want the search all my locals so changing Search Depth to a low number is not an alternative)

Weird graphical glitch after driver "crash" for AMD Radeon 5700 XT

first time here!
I've stumbled across a very weird visual glitch, consisting of big white "pixels" of white shown in almost perfect repetitive patterns, occurring after my graphics drivers crashed again. A friend of mine considered the way its displayed as too perfect for how it is presented. Photo of Glitch
My GPU has been acting this way for a long while already (I bought it new, no mining or extreme stress prior), initially on Windows 10 where I tried many steps from driver updates and clean re-installs to re-installing whole system.
Now I use Arch Linux on my friends recommendation but the error still occurs, although as of yet with lesser frequency. Just this time it had a distinct look to it, maybe because I haven't been booted to a BSoD?
The question I have now is if this is a case of GPU being broken, or if it is maybe some other hardware component acting up.
Might it be vbios issue? Vram? Maybe mobo? PCI slot was cleaned up by me on many times, temperatures don't seem to be an issue.
My PC specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: AMD Radeon 5700 XT 50th Aniv. Edition
RAM: 2x16GB DDR4
MB: MSI B450 Gaming Plus
PSU: Corsair VS650 650 Watt
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Visual Studio 2019 is too laggy to the point where it looks like time has stopped. So laggy that I pull PC cable out of the plug, and it's still on

Ok, I don't think my computer is a cardboard box, it isn't that trash I guess. My CPU is not a quad-core. Well, getting straight to the point, I can't even use Visual Studio 2019 properly, it constantly crashes, and when I try to select an option in a project, it just freakin' lags. My CPU isn't even used to the 50%. What can I do to change this? Do I to sell my organs and buy a better PC or is there anything else I can do?
Specs :
i3-6100
8 GB RAM

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 increase max Process Memory (over 2GB)

On Windows 8
Is there a way to increase the process Memory limit of 2GB. My script needs 2.5GB RAM to run after I performed garbage collection to the best of my knowledge.
I need to run in 64-bit (not related to largeaddressaware)

Intellij idea 32 bit vs 64 bit speed and performance

Currently I am using intellij idea 14.0.3(earlier I was using 12.1.4) on 64 bit windows 8.1.
When we install it, the installer creates the shortcut in start menu and other places which defaults to the 32 bit .exe file even on a 64 bit system.
I know that I can use the 64 bit executable to run idea in 64 bit mode as given in this SO answer.
But is there any significant performance difference between the two versions of the IDE?
And which executable is recommended for 64 bit systems? Shall I keep using 32 bit? or shall I switch to 64bit version?
The difference between running the 32 and 64 bits launcher is which Java will be used to start the IDE and what are the vmoptions parameters passed to it.
When starting the 32 bit one, IDEA uses it's own bundled 32 bit JRE. If there is no such one, IDEA tries to find 32 bit JRE in several places on specific order (%IDEA_HOME%, %JDK_HOME%, %JAVA_HOME%). The values in idea.exe.vmoptions are passed to it.
When starting the 64 bit one, it tries to find 64 bit JRE in several places on specific order. The values in idea64.exe.vmoptions are passed to it.
So if you want to allocate 2 GB RAM or more (with -xmx), this is not going to happen with 32 bit Java (resp. IDEA). And for large projects using less than 2GB causes the IDE to hang a lot. For smaller projects I don't think you'll feel any difference.
For reference this is the bug about this, so far they are not acting on it:

Will more CPU cache help compliation/development in Visual Studio 2008?

I'm thinking of a new laptop to replace my current machine. I notice a lot of machines have the P8xx and T9xxx Intel Core 2 Duo. The T9xxx have a premium but they have I believe 6 megs of cache compared to the 3 megs in the P8xx. Will this help me for compilation times or any other stat? Should I invest the premium in more RAM than the cache?
I do a lot of Web work in Visual Studio 2008, some C++/MFC. I just want to balance my budget around my needs without overkill. Thanks.
Usually that's not as helpful as increasing the number of CPU cores (which can run parallel build if you don't have one-by-one dependency tree) or the speed of CPU itself - but the result may still vary by your real project to work with.
I don't know if more cache will help. It can't hurt I imagine. There are a couple things that helped my Visual Studio performance.
Put as much RAM in your system as possible. RAM is cheap, you should max out your machine.
Go to your power options, and make sure you CPU is running full speed. For instance, on my machine, with Vista installed, switching the power options from "Balanced" to "High performance" roughly double the speed for compiles.
