.NET 2.0 application slower on Vista

Good Day Folks,

We have an .net 2.0 application that has been working reasonably well
in windows xp, we have installed our application on windows vista
business and have noticed a significant performance decrease in the
application.

Is this expected with Vista? has anyone else experienced the same
problem with their applications since migrating to Vista?

If so, can you provide links to any articles and work arounds for
this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I am afraid you are correct. Since moving to Vista everything is slower and
many things just don't work correctly. Hope you have not had problems with
VS on Vista. On my VS on Vista I have to restart about every 10 mins since
the keyboard (right side) goes nuts showing a set of non english characters.
To say I hate Vista is an understatement.

I have had no problems in using VS on Vista. However, the machine I use,
which I got back in 4/2007 was Vista compliant hardware wise right out of
the box.

Are you using a machine that's strong enough to run Vista reasonably?

Dual Core 3.66, 4 gigs memory etc. It is Vista Ultimate. IIS works fine
and VS works fine until the character change happens. I am in Canada and
have both languages installed but if that is a problem then ... I am
stumped.

Thanks,

I have a Dual Core 1.73 with 2 gigs of memory on a HP dv9000 laptop running
Ultimate and I have no problems using VS 2005 or the Express editions.

http://www.tommti-systems.de/go.html?http://www.tommti-systems.de/main-Dateien/reviews/languages/benchmarks.html The above link shows that C# is 450% slower on something as simple as a nested loop. Is this because .NET is inherently slower or does the C# compiler merely produce code that is not as well optimized as the C++ compiler?

Has anyone noticed that Access databases (2003) are much slower to load under Vista or is it just me? I have a dual boot machine (XP and Vista). Applications generally are a bit slower to load under Vista, Access included, and an Access DB of say 5mb size takes several seconds to load out of memory under Vista and is instantaneous under XP. Speed is definitely not one of the new OS's strong points.

Hi all, First post here. I'm porting an application I wrote in VB6, over to VB.NET 2005. It could be said I'm really struggling with some (most!) of the syntax of VB.NET 2005, but I'm getting there. I'm relying a lot, at this point, on sample code from Microsoft, and other forums about the Internet. One thing I've painfully noticed (hence the title of this post) is .NET

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
