I haven't had the opportunity to try it, but theoretically it should be about like out-of-process VB code in terms of performance.

I currently have a VB program deployed in both XP64 and Vista64, while marshalling does have an effect, the simple fact that the speed of the machine is so much greater than most 32bit processors, the performance lag is minimized. To date, we have had no complaints about performance issues, although I suspect as the software grows, we will need to port it to native code.

The program is written entirely in VB and runs out-of-process on 64 bit systems. On 32 bit systems, the executable is loaded via the COM interface into the AutoCAD process using VLisp.

Initially we discussed using VBA, but several things kept us from doing so. We needed to support all AutoCAD versions from R2000 to R2009, as a result, late-binding became our friend. We tried VBA, but there were a few hiccups with 2002 & 2004, so we bit the bullet and went with VB ... plus the VB forms are much easier to manipulate than the VBA variety.

Ya know, .. I seem to remember having issues at the firm I worked at before using non-modal forms and not being able to click the buttons on said forms, pain in the butt. There was a hotfix for it somewhere if I remember correctly.

As Keith mentioned the machines were top-notch so performance was not an issue, but the inability to click on the forms was definitely a hindrance.
