Is Visual Studio 2010's WPF interface a cause for performance concern?

Hi, I have installed the latest beta of Visual Studio 2010 Team Edition at work and so far I have been enjoying it, though you need to dig deep to appreciate the new features (obviously, you can't just use historical debugging without writing any code to debug).
