Loading multiple Images on WPF canvas degrade the performance of apllication.

Hi,

I am using WPF canvas. I am having many images say around 1500-2000, which I need to load on the same canvas. But when I do this the application performance is sarificed. I am adding these images one by one to canvas using Canvas.Children.Add(image) and this operation is take more time. Is there any alternate and faster way to load images on wpf canvas which will save time and improve the performance?

Thanks and Warm Regards,

Lucas
