    how are you loading it? (LoadPicture I'd guess)
    and where are you loading it (picture box, image control, directly on the form)?

    If it takes a long time, it is probably due to the file size - there is not much you can do about that (except maybe converting to another format such as Jpeg).

    If it isn't smooth, that could be because you are using more colours in the picture than VB supports (I dont know what that would be), or because the size of the picturebox/image control (if you are using one) isn't the same as the file.
