Research direction

Search all CUDA sample .vcxproj files for the repeated ProjectGuid value {997E0757-EA74-4A4E-A0FC-47D8C8831A15}. Check how the projects are opened in Visual Studio and verify that each project has a unique identifier. Done means the duplicate GUIDs are removed across the sample projects and Visual Studio no longer reports the described performance problem.
