.NET 2.0 GDI / GDI+ performance (was: New Delphi roadmap is coming: NO UNICODE PLEASE!)

I've done a bit of research on it, not much mind you, and I've been told
that yes, if you just use it out of the box it is a bit slow, but there
are
some things you can do to speed up the drawing. But my developers
say they are already doing those thing, and this *is* the faster version.
I don't have time to look up the details right now, but GDI and GDI+
always come into the conversation.
I've also been told that future versions of .NET will deal with this.

Check if your developers are making use of the
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault option.
"There were several changes in Windows Forms for .NET Framework 2.0 that
came down the pipe too late for us to document in time for RTM."

"Certain Windows Forms controls can render their text using either the GDI
graphics library, or the newer GDI+ library. This change was made because of
performance and localization issues with GDI+. "
