Visual Studio 6 was very fast even on my PoS machine at the time.

Faster than Jetbrains on an M1. Not used VS for a while but holy shit that crapped the bed in 2002 performance wise.

I remember differently, I remember visual studio 6 bringing my PC to is knees (although to be fair I was a broke student and my PC was a potato).

I guess you never heard of Sublime text?
