HTMLCONTROLS vs. WEBCONTROLS

Good morning all,

I have somewhat of a dilemmna. I have a form that is fairly long. As a result it's taking a while to load

I did a trace to try and pinpoint the problem. I thought that maybe my stored procedure was sluggish or that population of the many drop-downs could be the culprit but it actually appears to be the rendering of the page that is causing the trouble.

I have disabled viewstate for most of the controls on the form and it does not appear to be an issue. The only other thing I can think of is that I'm using several web controls.

I'm wondering if it would be better to use htmlcontrols instead. Do they offer a performance gain over webcontrols? They both still have the runat=server and essentially output the same thing. But which would be the better choice when it comes to performance?

Many thanks in advance,
- VB Rookie
