I still don't understand what it is you are doing that could slow it
down that much. If you have lots of screen updates, particularly using
the value property on property nodes, then having the panel open will
run slower than with the panel closed, but being a dialog shouldn't
affect it.
If you are using lots and lots of property nodes, reconsider. They are
for UI only.
You might also want to use th
e profiler to determine what is taking so
long. Open the profiler before running your VIs, Click Start, then run
your VIs to completion. Then click stop and it will give you an idea of
which VIs are slow. Also, the timing details will tell you how much
time was spent in drawing the panel.
