Address the issue with slow "pending check-ins" in Visual Studio in a large workspace
The issue is described in http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/1083-performance-of-pending-changes-in-a-very-large-workspace
"Show private items" option slows down the "pending check-ins" too much. In Visual Studio, it should be very easy to show besides the check-out items, to check if there are new items in the solution, and only display those, instead of analyzing all private items in the workspace. This probably should speed up things a lot.
Alternatively make the "pending check-ins" windows non-modal, as described http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/2675742-vs2010-plugin-add-ability-to-click-on-item-in-pen

Yes, the "View > Pending Changes in Workspace" shows a non-modal dialog quickly, which is good enough.
The only issue with it is that it doesn't display newly added items in the solution, so one needs to first explicitely add them to PlasticSCM source control.
Btw, the old option with the modal window with "Check-in" of the solution is still very slow in our case, but it doesn't matter much, if there is a good enough workaround.
