Great Reason to Adopt VS 2005

If you are a WinForms developer you are going to see DRAMATIC increases in performance.

I have been working on performance tuning a WinForms applictation that has a dynamically generated interface. I have been using Ants Profiler from www.red-gate.com and it has been working great at finding performance issues.

This morning I recompiled this application under VS2005 and almost dropped out of my chair when I saw what happened.

I am seeing 50% or better load times for our most complex forms.

This is an absolutely great reason to upgrade NOW!

I'm seeing some improvements on some of my apps too, but only if .NET was loaded on the machine. First time load is still incredibly slow with 20 second plus load times or more for an data app that has a fairly complex main form. Subsequent starts however are noticably faster and has dropped start times from 5 seconds to maybe 1-2.
