Hi
Start a timer object's timer event on form load
Do half the processing in the Timer event
Tell me whether it speeds up the form loading
This is a trick to start the processing on different
threads.
For eg.
If in Form_Load,
Process 1
Process 2 
Process 3
Process 4

Then, change it to,
Timer1.Enabled=true
Process 1
Process 2 
 
And in Timer1_Timer,
Process 3
Process 4
