Yes. It is faster.

VB4 has a 32 bits version that can use the 32 bits Windows API, so it provides more functionality. But if you really need the 32 bits Windows API you better use VB5 or VB6. VB4 is extremely slow and I'm having problems in Windows XP with it.

VB3 is great for small/intermediate projects or to learn. The EXEs are small and the runtime is around 256 Kb only. You don't need special installs that play with the registry or add more and more stuff to your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. Just the EXE, the runtime and the VBXs you are using. You put them in your app folder and go.
