title: VB6 program compiled in a new computer in incredibly slow in other computers
body: <p>I have this weird problem that's killing us. I have a widely used app that is written in VB6.</p>
  
  <p>Everything works fine. This week I decided to chance the computer where we do the compiling. I tried not to tempt our luck, so I had an AMD X2 270 with DDR3 and a Gigabyte motherboard (I though it was better not to go with bigger hardware and W7 so Visual Studio 6 would be easier to install...)</p>
  
  <p>I installed Windows XP SP3, because the main purpose of that computer is perform the vb6 application maintenance, besides common tasks such as email checking, web surfing and web programming with other tools.</p>
  
  <p>PROBLEM IS: executables generated in this new computer are painfully slow!!! My old computer (pentium 4, also XP) creates executables that works just fine.
  Both have Visual Studio 6 SP 5.
  They work just fine in the computer where it is compiled, but as soon as i move the exe file to a computer that already has the app, it goes nearly impossible to use.</p>
  
  <p>Anybody has any ideas???? We are kind of puzzled here, not to mention worried. (The "old" machine has presented sign of failure recently, like rebooting itself)</p>
  
  <p>More info: the app talks with sql server 2000, uses a flexgrid and Crystal Reports 8.5</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, 
  Daniel</p>
