Jim,
Who knows, perhaps people can make WinForms data apps work really well using some simple trick or technique that I have missed. Or perhaps VS2005 will address some of the concerns, whereupon previous performance issues will suddenly be acknowledged ;-)
Lest anybody think that the above exhibits bias, that is exactly what happened in VFP3- there was a dreadful requery memory leak that was only admitted after the fix was released. Meantime I (and a customer!) spent months tearing our hair, reviewing code over and over, and breaking processes into chunks so they would complete.
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
