+With [Visual Studio 17.7 Preview 3](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/), you can [pregenerate Visual Studio caches and include them in your dev box image](/azure/dev-box/how-to-generate-visual-studio-caches#enable-visual-studio-caches-in-dev-box-images). As a result, Visual Studio will load your solution and enable key IDE features faster on your dev box. 
+You can also improve the Git performance on large repositories by [enabling Git commit-graph optimizations in dev box images](/azure/dev-box/how-to-generate-visual-studio-caches#enable-git-commit-graph-optimizations-in-dev-box-images).

 - If Visual Studio doesn't have the exact functionality you need, you can add it. Personalize the IDE based on your workflow and style, add support for external tools that aren't integrated with Visual Studio, and modify existing functionality to increase your productivity. For the latest version of the Visual Studio Extensibility Tools (VS SDK), see [Visual Studio SDK](../extensibility/visual-studio-sdk.md).
