ESET NOD32 Antivirus slow down Visual Studio

Recently install ReSharper and TypeMock into my dev machine, which is extreme slow down Visual Studio 2008 and 2010, when ever I input some thing, it will have seconds latency to see the keyboard cursor. Original I think it maybe comes from ReSharper and TypeMock, but I am wrong. Indeed, the antivirus does the bad thing on the background, which take a 30% CPU and 15Mbps disk queue IO.

Then I go to antivirus( I am useing ESET NOD32 Antivirus TM 4.2.71.2):

First open configuration setup:
Context Menu->Advance Menu
Then In left menu tree panel added a batch of exclusions in:
Antivirus and antispyware->Exclusions

C:\$mon_sys_files\*.*                                                   
C:\$Recyle.Bin\*.*                     //Disable scan trash
C:\Git.Modules\*.*                     //Disable scan my dev working folder
C:\app\*.*                                 //Disable scan Oracle database
C:\Program Files (x86)\Misrosoft SQL Server\*.*          //Disable scan SQL Server database
C:\RefSrc\**                              //Disable scan VS .net framework symbols

Then it extreme fast now. If you met the problem, apply the similar resolution.
