beside what others mentioned here about late data binding and loading a page only when it's activated, there are a number of further possibilities to speed up a form.

One is for example not to fill a combobox until the user enters it or even not until the user clicks on the drop down button.

In grids you can display only the visible columns and create the rest with a timer while the form already is usable or even not before the user actually tries to scroll do that area.

The same applies to complex data retrivial. That can done in a timer selecting a few records be tick event, or if you do a lot of complex data processing you can use a second EXE running in the background that performs such tasks and select the result into a shared temporary table. The user can use the form, while in the background the grid (or whatever) is filled with data.

A common problem are too many calls to Refresh(). When a form is loaded, Refresh() fires for every control, but often additionally Refreshes are issued.

just a few ideas...
