title: What type of application starts faster: Windows Forms or WPF?
body: <p>As far as I know WPF applications should work faster than Windows Forms applications because WPF applications use DirectX for rendering instead of GDI. But what kind of application will start faster: WPF or Windows Forms? Will the start time be roughly the same or will one type of application be considerably faster than the other?</p>
  
  <p>I am not targeting any specific operating system.</p>
