When I did testing with Aleksey we found switching the map off stopped the slow menu issue so I am interested to know if the same happens for you.

Hi Kevin,

I tried this the other day and posted the result here;

Better as in no menu tearing/visible redrawing but still slow to respond and then the damn sleepy pointer rears its ugly head again...

Thanks all for your suggestions & continued patience.

Kind regards,
-=Glyn=-

Any suggestions as to the best way to investigate I/O would be much appreciated.

Perhaps someone with XP can suggest the best way.  In Vista (yes, I know you hate Vista, I find it works great), I use the Reliability & Performance tab in Computer Management.  Here's a typical disk-churning episode, where the MyLog journal is having a series of large re-writes.  Whilst this is happening, my PC becomes slow to respond as well.



A good place to start is right-click the drive that RB is installed on, and select Properties.  Check whether the drive is compressed or indexed - indexing can be a real I/O hog.
