Slow startup for simple C# app?

[Guest jtheun]

I just started playing with Visual Studio 2005 and built a simple app (one form with an exit button) using C# and the Compact Framework 1. But when I deploy and run this app on my Orange C500, it takes 5-10 seconds to start up... Is this normal?

When I look at my other favorite apps like NewsBreak, they start up immediately. Should I assume that they are written in native code, using some other dev tool than Visual Studio 2005?

Yeah, when you run a .NET program the phone has to load the .NET Framework before it can run the program. C++ programs run natively.

So if I want to code a faster app, what development tool would I use? This is for a smartphone running windows mobile 5

make sure on the final deployment of the app to select release as it will speed up things.
