I have wpf window which contains buttons and datagrid etc

Yes, that would depend on what your window contains. For example, if you have a large number of controls, they take time to be rendered so performance is definitely linked to what you want to display.

Ways to speed up your window loading:

1) Use the following code, wherein you halt the Dispatcher temporarily and take care of the screen loading and then again resume the normla operations.

var dis = Dispatcher.DisableProcessing();

/* Perform your time-consuming screen loading work here, such as filling data, retrieving data from database into the window controls... Use dispacher.begininvoke... */

dis.Dispose();

2) Read this article for better understanding and implement this approach:
