Is WithEvents Needed for all Web Controls?

[JeffRoughgarden]

In Visual Studio 2003, the Web Form Designer generated code always declares
web controls with the WithEvents qualifier. Is this necessary for controls
that do not actually need to fire events, e.g. textboxes that are validated
and submitted using validation controls and command buttons?

Would deleting the WithEvents qualifier for such controls speed up
compilation or rendering or both?

Jeff, there's some good discussion on what WithEvents does and when it's
needed vs. not needed over in Paul Vick's blog entry at:
