Net framework 3.5. Takes too long to run application

Question

Hello. I am developing an application in NET 3.5 C# and WPF and from the beginning it took AGES to run at most machines.. Only on my core i7 machine runs within 2-3 seconds... At most pcs tested it takes about 30 seconds to load!!! even from the start when it contained only a button and no code just to load the application... Can i do something for this?

If you are experiencing the same problem with an empty application (no dependencies, single button, etc), then there is nothing you can do. The .NET runtime isn't small. Your options are:

• Use something else (native / GDI+)
• Upgrade your machines
• Try to optimize the machines themselves (turn off services/anything else that is gobbling up RAM/CPU power)
• Make sure other .NET apps are running on the machine, so it is constantly in memory :)
• Live with the performance
