Datagrid Performance in XP and 2000

[joannelai]

Hi,

I simply used datagrid (C Sharp) to connect mysql (odbcConnection).
The project just display all records in the table that specified by
the sql command (about 650 records). Also, the project was
implemented using VS .NET 2003 under Windows XP Professional.

I run the above project in Windows XP Professional and it takes
about 30 seconds to search and display all the records; but if I run
it in Windows 2000 Professional, it takes only 3 seconds!!

The PC which uses Windows XP is a P4 1.4GHz with 512MB RAM whereas
the PC which uses Windows 2000 is a P3 733MHz with 256MB RAM only.

I wonder what make such a big difference in performance if I run the
same program in different platforms.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

P.S I upgraded MDAC to 8.0 in both PCs

Hi,

Maybe you do have something else installed on your XP machine , you will
get a better idea if you use a profiler and see where is the bottleneck.
