Are there any performance issues, if we have many dll reference added to our
project.
Any way, does it take more time to load the application if we have many dll
reference added to a project, even though we don't use at application load.

Does more dll takes more time to load.
If we merge many dll into one does it improve the performance.

Our application takes long time to load, and we are doing nothing at
startup. We are using "no touch deployment".
Please suggest any way to load the application faster.
Any help greatly appreciated.
