Does disabling temporaraly unused controls improve application performance?

Question

hi all,

I have many controls in a windows form app. currently, I am using "Hide()", when controls are not to be used.

Some of these controls implement Event Handlers.

If I were to Disable the control, as well as hide, would this improve the application performance, eg. enabling the controls only presently needed?
 would the EventHandlers for disabled controls be frozen or stopped?

Thanks in advance for your response,

Jeremy
