>>Are you referring to VS2008 SP1? Can't say that I've noticed much difference when opening an ASPX page in the designer. OTOH the delay when displaying a page using the 'View in Browser' option seems to have actually got longer on my machine :-{

Isn't that the original VS2008 version?. SP1 was released sometime, I think, in the last couple of weeks. That's the upgrade I'd just installed (and the one I thought you were referring to) : 9.0.30729.1 SP. There's an updated framework as well.
