Release Build Slower than Debug Build?

[philprice]

Topic says it all really, when i am debugging my software its quite a responsive. When i create a standalone Release Build, and run it (without the IDE), its quite slow, form elements take some time to appear, not very long, but noticable...

 

what am i doing wrong?

I haven't a clue what could cause this, unless somehow in the build settings for the project optimizations have been turned off in the release configuration and on in the debug configuration...
