Help Plz!!!!!!!!!!

Question

Hi all, I am new to C# and have serveral questions would like to ask. 1st I have this Mdi parent with a toolbar with image on the buttons and its loading rather slow, is there a way to speed things up?? Also, I have a clickable image map and detect whether the labels are clicked. whenever the image map gets loaded, it would slow down a lot and they look really ugly. so i guess my real questions is, Are background image linked or embeded in C#?? I am using the visual tools to link to the image. And, is there other way around to make an image map?? I tried using panels instead of labels and they are all about the same speed. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
