It's not a good choice to keep a couple hundred thousand files in TFS local workspace.
When might I need to use a server workspace?
When you use a server workspace, Visual Studio keeps only one copy of each file. This can significantly reduce disk space usage and improve performance when you have a lot of items. We recommend that you use a server workspace if:
Your workspace contains more than 100,000 items.
You want to use Visual Studio 2010 or earlier versions to work with the workspace.
- You need to use the Enable get latest on check-out option.
The documentation is from here. You should either use server workspace or create more granular local workspaces to work out this problem.
