VB.NET Is Slow anyone agree?

[oafc0000]

Hi Guys and Girls

Been using VB.NET for a couple of months now and I am finding that the executables are slow at executing. I have a fast machine so it isnt my machine.

Anyone else found this?

I find that it can take some time to run when debugging - but this would be due to .net compiling the code. Generally , though, on distributed apps I find it pretty quick - you may have a lot of activity in the load events that may cause the program to seem slow!

They seem to be as fast as VB6 apps after the initial firsttime startup.

Running from in the IDE in Debug mode is tremendously slower than running from an EXE in Retail mode (what a user will experience). I felt this fear as well but I'd try out your program the way a user will experience it first and see if you have reason to worry.
