- Actually, that is what I am having problems with. 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!)
