No doubt. VB is sooooooooo sloooooooooooooow. Even C++ with MFC can be slow at times but it's still 10X as fast. Any research lab of merit would not be using VB for anything that's computationally large. VB is good for Data entry and for apps that require very little speed to run comfortably. The pros use C/C++ because it is still the reigning king for speed and versatility.
