Re: Why are .Net UIs slower than C++ or classic VB?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

One of the reason might be GDI+ performance is too poor. Drawing a SXGA
bitmap using GDI+ takes 25ms on my computer.

I've noticed (for quite some time now) that .Net UIs are not as responsive
(see Franklin Covey's PlanPlus for Windows XP or Symantec's .Net Norton
Antivirus or even the .Net version of Paint done by Washington University
vs good old Paint UIs for examples).

They are also not as professional looking as the older applications and
the reaction times of the UIs is not professional looking at all.

Why do you think this is? Is it bad programming or is there something
else going on here?
