wpf - Visual Studio 2012 XAML designer process eating up memory -


i have started using visual studio 2012 , issue designer process , devenv.exe eating more 1 gigs of memory. question here xaml designer process xdesproc.exe never cleans memory , loads lot of designers @ once. don't know notice because of having high memory. have 4 gigs ram bumps , uses whole in lot. have screenshot shows 200 megs used designer.

task manager

edited: gets worst when build , not in debug mode in release mode gets stuck , after few minutes application comes up. enter image description here

yeah, it's xaml files! here's couple of tips:

if not addicted design view (i never use it), open xaml files txt files don't have compile - should help.

right-click on .xaml file in solution explorer open with..  select source code (text) editor click <set default> button  don't have again. click <ok> button 

when visualstudio pisses me off it's xaml slowness. switch kaxaml. it's free , super light-weight.

i keep windows task manager open , periodically kill of xdesproc.exe's (ms visualstudio xaml ui design processes) when popup. should write powershell script or app kills those.. (should pretty simple, create timer, , on elapsed find , kill)
