Re: VS.NET is 10 times slower than VB6

> technology that is 10 years advanced SHOULD run slower, not faster

Technology that is 10 years advanced has 100's of times the functionality of
Technology that is 10 years behind it. Functionality requires more computer
resources. Therefore, the technology, run on the same hardware as the older
technology, certainly will run slower. However, as Moore's law points out,
machine hardware doubles in capacity every 5 years, so, comparing apples to
apples, it runs at an acceptable pace with the correct (current) hardware.
Of course, the older technology will run faster on the more current
hardware, but will do 100's of times less than the new technology. That is,
as they say, the way things work.

You are a programmer, right? You should know these things.

ok you are right

technology that is 10 years advanced SHOULD run slower, not faster

that is progress right?

that's right

well done
