Try this implementation of my prior suggestion (without accounting for FPS):

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private bool go;
    private int dx = 1;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnPaint(e);
        if (go)
        {
            this.Location = new Point(this.Location.X + dx, this.Location.Y);
            if (Location.X < 10 || Location.X > 1200)
            {
                go = false;
                dx = -dx;
            }
            else
            {
                this.Invalidate();
            }
        }
    }
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        go = true;
        this.Invalidate();
    }
}

I think you will likely have to go outside of winforms to get higher FPS.
