Windows Mobile 5.0 Really Slow

Hi all,


I have an application that loads lots of PNG images upon starting. This
process takes around 5 seconds on a Windows Mobile 4.2 device, but on a
Windows Mobile 5.0 device (i-mate K-JAM), it takes like a whole minute.

Any idea why?


Thanks,
Yudi

Hi,

Are you getting those timings in debug or release mode? I have an app that
loads a lot of images (GIF) and it takes forever in debug mode. Before I
tried to change anything though I built a release mode version and it runs
at an acceptable speed, so I'm ignoring the issue for now.

Hi Chris and thanks for the response,

I got these timings in release mode. Please note that the executable is
the same one for both platforms though, as I prefer releasing a single
executable file. I didn't compile a WM 5.0 specific executable.

Thanks,
Yudi

Would you happen to be using imgdecmp.dll for this?

Did you disable the AntiVirus on the K-Jam yet? Until you do so, it will be
slow when processing many PNG files. Go over to the forums at HowardForums
dot com and read up on disabling the AntiVirus.

Well, kinda. WM 5.0 has a different dll (I believe it's imaging.dll),
and I use this one.
