Shows the Ctrl+Alt+E exception dialog instantly

On my laptop/sln Showing the Ctrl+Alt+E exception dialog takes around 6s in VS2010, 4s in VS2008 and 2s in dev11DeveloperPreview (even faster would be great).
Also, make a button 'disable catching this exception type' when an exception pops at debug-time, which will discard the need to show the Exception dialog often.

        Even better, make it a dockable window. And allow me to have a "Favorites" tab where only the exceptions I care about are visible, so I don't have to "Find" exceptions. In addition the "Favorites", a "Recent" tab of recently thrown exceptions (what appears in the Output windows) would also be nice to quickly break on some new suspicious exception.

        +1 For the idea of making a button to disable stopping the debugger on specific exceptions when that exception happens.
