VB6 vs VC++ 6

[Hyperspaced]

Hello,

I am really curious to know about the speed comparison between VB6 and VC++6. Some say that VB6 is much slower than VC++ 6. Is that true ?? Please explain...

About the MFC libraries in C : isn't it slower to use the MFC instread of calling the fundamental libraries (ie User32, Gdi32, Kernel etc...), as done in VB6 ??

I am thinking of using VC++ 6 to create the "engine" of my programs (heavy calculations etc..) into a .DLL and then use VB to create the forms/events etc... What's your comment on that ??

Thanks

Using C++ DLLs is great, but only if you need VB for some other things in the program as well. For example, it's not a good idea if you just want to design the GUI in VB, because you can easily design that in the VC++ IDE (better yet, you can import VB Forms into a C++ dialog).

Yes, using MFC is slower than regular API.
