Does it also happen when you open up VS2010 and create a new project? If not, there might be something wrong with the the solution or project files. Removing the .suo and .sdf files sometimes helps.

Another thing you can try is install VS2010 on another machine to see if it's related to just your machine.

Did you open Resource Monitor in the task manager? It's able to show you disk I/O, it might show you that your virus scanner is accessing everything (happened on my machine).

Hope this helps.
