Once you are in production make sure you are in release mode. If they are images make sure that they are optimised. HTH,

Don't load so much at one time?

mm... now the problem is i have to put a lot of controls into 1 form, n i will have many form to go, i heard that multithreading is help, but i have no idea how to make it...

when i load the form, the button will show 1 by 1... this look too bad..
how to solve it well?

Make the form's visible property to false at the start of form_Load
and make it true on the last line of form_load.
And change the cursor to wait :P

this way the user will have to wait until it show up completely

cheers

PS. its just a temp solution
