speed of compiled app in vb.net vs. comparable vb6.0

I have just started programming with VisualBasic 2005. I am wondering
if an app compiled with VB2005 will be significantly slower than a
similar app created in VB6. The app is a simple tabbed form with 5
tabs, mostly textboxes, some comboboxes get populated from SQL
command, and I also have a datagridview. The (Access) DB is on the
PC. Will the repainting of the screen be slower than VB6?
I test the app on my 3GHz Dell but it will eventually reside on 900MHz
notebook.
I am not looking for a finetuned answer; some roundabout answer would
be fine.

Why are you assuming that the .NET app would be slower than the VB 6.0 app
in the first place?

Without knowing exactly what your app is doing, it's impossible to be too
precise, but it could easily be argued that the .NET application would blow
the VB 6.0 application away, in terms of performance. ADO .NET offers
several performance tweaks that were not present in classic ADO.
