Points to Remember

While working, I have found both Effect and BitmapEffect of Border, even though looks great for an application may often detoriate performance of the application. So it is always better to avoid Effects. If you still like to use them, always use the effects to small elements. Do not put say BitmapEffect to a border that spans the whole window. This will seriously slow down the WPF application.
