The environment variable NT_SYMBOL_PATH needs to be removed
Not in my experience.
However a slow link, and a third party dll without local symbols will cause delays. But the best route is to switch off the automatic downloading of symbols inside VS (the environment variable is also used by other tools which will suffer for its loss).
Tools | Options | Debugging | Symbols.and checking the "search the above locations only when ..." option.
