SCSF uses reflection very heavily. Because of this reason performance is hit when trying to do what would seem the simplest of things. It is a very heavy framework and unless you really need it and are concerned about performance I would suggest an alternative.

First try with marking all your forms double buffered, secondly you may try to put some way to manage cache for example if you have downloaded something and its not changed then it would be better to make use of that instead of downloading same thing again and again. Secondly put some paging type thing in it to download specific parts for example instead of downloading 100 records from webservice on client side and then filtering them upon some criteria it would be better to ask webservice to return you only desired records. Secondly although I am not a fan of show/hide tech in windows forms but it may do the trick in your case and will be much faster then creating new form each time.

It's not possible. Instead, you'd need to turn the two pages into controls, so they could both exist on one page, then viewstate will maintain the state of form1, even when it's not visible, and form2 is being shown.
