I guess the application at our workplace has no optimisations in place. Its just too cumbersome and frustratingly slow to use.
It really feels like the whole app is in 'interpreted' mode.

Could it be because its written in VB.Net?

It's likely because of the code itself. The language shouldn't matter much these days. I've found .NET can be slow if you do silly things and don't look for better algorithms.
