The problem with the load time exists because we are not doing something that we should be doing. If we do that thing, the problem goes away. If you would like to change the structure of the existing ReactOS repository for a different reason, well, OK…but if the load time is the only reason…

I have an idea, which was already almost presented by some of you.
Based on an idea of restructuring our source tree (from some of devs included Amine, iirc), which consists in classifying our things into, e.g. :
NTOS (for kernel + ntdll + some other things)
Drivers
Win32ss (win32k + user32 + winsrv / basesrv)
Audio
Applications
Etc…
We could perhaps have a solution for each of these items, which would maybe shorten the time of loading.

Having a solution for each project is like having a separate build system for each project.
You could probably break it down to between 5-10 solutions, having one for each major area of the build but anything more would be detrimental to the advantages of using VS.

I suggest a sln file in each directory. Only a sln file is too big, very slow to load.
I agree, but before changing this, we should measure a possible performance impact on the configure operation. (We are talking about generating a few hundred solution files)
I don't know if it has any impact at all (especially for non-VS build), but you never know...
