thanks for 2.0 info

im seeing basic startup times of around 15 seconds for 1.0 winforms apps, around 5 seconds for gtk apps and probably around 4 seconds for console apps.

do you have alot of logic in form_load? or perhaps 2.0 is slower? i guess there's big hit with winforms/gdi initialization that will be very apparent on 400mhz arm. hasnt't been a problem yet for me... a bigger issue for me is that winforms dont have task tray icons like gtk apps do.
