We have finally put our giant VB.net 2.0 Web Application into a code freeze exclusively so we can put some performance enhancements into it.
I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade the .Net version to increase the application's performance.

No, they can exist alongside eachother. Just like with previous versions. In fact, 4.0 uses completely different directories to store its assemblies in. Uninstalling will prevent you from using older programs.
you can experience significant performance improvements if you run the latest version of the Microsoft . NET Framework (version 4.5 or higher). Gains of up to 25% faster execution are possible based on our testing, but individual results may vary depending on the hardware and software environments in use.
Support for . NET Framework 4 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 ended on July 14, 2015, and support on all other operating systems ended on January 12, 2016.
NET Core is faster for working with more modern libraries and programming languages. It is more lightweight and modular than . NET Framework, and you can use multiple versions of . NET in the same project.
It will be worthwhile to upgrade, but not due to automatic improvements.
It will be worthwhile to upgrade because you'll have more options on how to fix the performance problems.
It will also be worthwhile to upgrade because .NET 2.0 is six years old! Don't ever stay in the past unless you have to, or you'll eventually wind up having to explain why you're using decade-old technology.
