[RESOLVED] Unusually slow windows forms
I've been ignoring this problem in my program for a while. When the program is executed, the hard drive spins and spins for a good 10 seconds until the program loads. Where the same application in VB6 would have been instantaneous.
There is virtually nothing in my Form_Load event, and I'm using a Main() sub to do the initial stuff to determine what to do first, which also doesn't have much in it either.
Basically, it's just a program that displays a form when it opens. That's about it. I've done some research and other people have this problem also. Some say it's in the constructor. I have a number of controls on the main form, but not really so much to where it should be slowing down this far.
I'm really at a loss for ideas on how to fix this. I have never played with (or even fully understand) multithreading, and doubt it would help anyway as there isn't much going on. Does anybody have any suggestions?
