  Hello, I am using .NET 2.0 and building a custom control. There are multiple graphics elements that I would like to render on the surface.

• Visual C++ VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower.

The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch ...Show All

I did manage to get several queries run on different threads but the response time for the same query varies dramatically when another query is running concurently (even on a di ...Show All
