Visual Studio 2022 is 64 bit and compiles and runs UE 5.0 EA approximately 20% FASTER

Hi, @Marius_Sheppard @Knauric and Everyone reading. This thread. Firstly thank you for using Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3.

During my continuous testing of UE5EA, I have identified a problem with both VS2019 and VS2022 P3. Please don’t use the Right-Click “Find All References”, but instead use the “Find in Files”, “Find All”.

Microsoft Visual Studio Engineering appreciates and is interested in the work on testing UE5EA and this repository.

The summary is that there are approximately over 8500 references to some C++ functions in UE5EA and “Find All References” uses IntelliSense from the version VS2019 16.11. This causes VS2022 P3 to generate 17 extra processes of up to 1GB effectively stopping/ freezing any Windows 10 PC without a 64GB pagefile.sys

I have reported the problem to Microsoft and its “Under Consideration”. I feel this is a good result for UE5EA because it is giving MS VS 2022 Engineering a chance to use UE5 as testing for the final release of UE5 and VS2022.

For those who are want to see the report
Preview 3.1 Enabled all IntelliCode Preview Features very slow/crashes while doing “Find References” - Visual Studio Feedback

My thanks to all of you who have tested this repository
