Slow refresh on some WF controls

[Jeremy Cowles]

Certain controls refresh very slowly (Label, ListView, PictureBox etc...),
slow enough on older machines that people think something is wrong with the
application. I know this is a common complaint, is there any fix for this
problem?

Thanks,
Jeremy

like how old of a machine?

It is clearly visible on my AMD 1800XP+ / 512 MB RAM

It is _horrible_ on some of our client's computers: low as Pentium II 400
+/-

I have searched this group on google & many people report the same issue -
the Label Control is the most talked about, it wont paint until well after
the parent form has shown, and painted. So you have a form that appears to
have holes in it where controls are supposed to be drawn. You should be able
to see this effect on your applications as well.
