Performance Improvement #136

Address performance issues when managing a large number of applications (e.g., over 200 RemoteApps)

I created a reg file for testing this. It creates 176 fake remoteapps that have their paths/icons set to valid exe paths (in a stock Win 11 Pro install):

176 fake remoteapps with valid exe paths in Win 11.zip

On a Win 11 VM, it took about 7 seconds for RemoteApp Tool to load/reload the list of apps in the main window. I suspect most of the time spent extracting and loading icons. Given what it's doing, I don't think 7 seconds is unreasonable. It's just annoying that it reloads the app list after any action with a remoteapp - even if you go to edit one, then cancel. This reloading is not really necessary and perhaps where performance could be improved without too much work.
