    Does "Project - Properties - Compile - Optimize for Small Code" help?

    Try some of these:

    • Switching to ImageBoxes instead of PictureBoxes.
    • If you have the same code repeated, put it in a sub or Function.
    • Use JPEG's or GIF's instead of Bitmaps
    • When you are done using an Object, set it to Nothing

    That's a very common issue when it comse to making games, more than applications, since gamedevelopers want to have optimal use of standard hardware, to create the best games.

    * Declaring variables for their purpose wisely
    * By compressing you can trade Memory for Performance
    * Free your variables and objects, be careful with arrays
    * Use less controls, design your own or even live without them
    * You could also dump temporary data to harddisk for later use

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
