I currently use the free obfuscation tool that ships with VS and it does what I need but my program seems slower after obfuscation, are other ofuscators any better?
Thanks

Seems slower? Benchmark it. Prove that you actually have a problem before trying to solve it.
I doubt that all obfuscators will have the same performance characteristics, but I also doubt that anyone can really predict what effect any particular one will have on a real-world app without trying it. Write a good benchmark and you’ll be able to get the evidence you need to make a genuinely informed decision.
