&lt;p&gt;Thanks for such an informative post. Out of curiosity, is your post still relevant wrt to how WPF renders layered windows?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If so, this validates a suspicion of mine that most of the performance problems I am having in my app is due to the fact its window is layered.&lt;/p&gt;
