should I install Visual Studio SP1?

I've got Beta2 VS tools installed and working now (though I'm getting periodic crashes during and at VS shutdown) and I'm reluctant to update to SP1 for VS if that is not completely stable with silverlight.  Can anyone advise me whether the addition of SP1 will stablize or improve VS (standard) performance?

 Actually, you should be not able to install Sp1 after installed Beta2

You should install Sp1 before install the Beta 2 of Silverlight

That sounds the beta2 install problem we all had when we first installed beta 2.

First check your Silverlight Tools for VS 2008 install size on Add/Remove Programs window.  If it is 1.14 MB, then you need to do the following:

 1) Uninstall your Silverlight Tools for VS 2008,

 2) Remove (delete) the following dll C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ServicesProxy.dll

 3) Re-Install Silverlight Tools for VS 2008.

If your tool's install size is already 1.18 MB, then your problem is not install problem. Should be something different.
