While discovering a suite of tools for profiling WPF Applications, I came across a list of resources on MSDN that discuss ways to optimize the performance of your WPF Applications.
Per MSDN: "
Optimizing WPF Application Performance
This section is intended as a reference for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application developers who are looking for ways to improve the performance of their applications. If you are a developer who is new to the Microsoft .NET Framework and WPF, you should first familiarize yourself with both platforms. This section assumes working knowledge of both, and is written for programmers who already know enough to get their applications up and running. Information in this section is based on version 1.0 of WPF.
