I might have worded it wrong. But, it really slows down performance. If you were not to draw the small piece of background behind the cursor. See, like when you start E/D, right after you click on the Demo button, move the mouse around the screen. You will see it starts to update only the spots behind the cursor. It also takes about 20 seconds longer to update the screen! This also happens in between programs (Like after you dbl click on an icon, Loser quits and starts the app., that is when if you move it, it slows it down tremendosly!) -Dan Guisinger
