.Net - Slow and bloated?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/.Net - Slow and bloated?

We use software written in .Net at work and it seems to be really poor. Mainly in the area of speed.

Everything from dialogs, switching tabs, file menu selections, and what not.

It seems as though the whole thing is a big resource hog too.
As an example, If I minimise the application, play around with note pad, then come back to the application, it takes several seconds to restore its state.

Do you find other .Net applications perform in such a poor fashion?

I *think* the program is written in VB.Net. All I can say is, I've used much snappier applications on a humble Amiga 1200 with memory expansion.

For reference the PC in use is a P4 Celeron 2.8Gz, 512MB Ram jobby.
