One of the developed application in WPF is running very slow on i5 process Laptop.
UI contains multiple user controls (200+) in nested Items control. Same application is running with good performance in one of the Desktop machine.
Below is the detailed configuration of Laptop where its very slow (50 sec to render the UI) :
