The Second GDI test done was with colored rectangles spread across the forms background..
This test was submited to move away from any posible built in controls doing the nessasary work, It however also relied heavily on looping to return a usable time..
Results of this test as run on my Vista dev system..
code loops 100 times, on same sized form (Critical)
VB6 = 140ms
VB.NET = 250ms
Re tested on full screen... (1280 * 768)
VB6 = 624ms
VB.NET = 952ms
The results here show one interesting thing compared to the first test.. The time difference between the two codes has become less.. VB6 took longer to paint the full screen while .NET took a lot less time..
