Shawn Burke showed up a bit late but proceeded to give a number of great tips/tricks for improving windows forms performance.

One tip that I found fairly interesting was to use premultiplied bitmaps when doing drawing.  To do this you load your image, then create a new image using 32bppPArgb  for the format.  Draw your image into this image using the Graphics class, dispose of the original image and then use the new image from them on for an approximately 6x increase in drawing performance!  Very, very cool.
