On an XP 2.5ghz core2duo laptop with a dedicated GPU (graphically quite quick and capable of running graphically intensive games like World of Tanks) the Xwidget engine is causing a definite graphical slow-down. This exhibits itself when dragging application windows around the desktop. Windows that would previously move seamlessly around the desktop now move in a jerky fashion but only when the Xwidget engine is running. Closing the Xwidget engine immediately resolves the slowdown.
If I run the Yahoo widget engine running with multiple widgets visible there is no slowdown. Running Xwidget with just one widget, any widget, causes the slowdown. Just having the Xwidget engine running with no widgets causes the slowdown.
I downloaded the Xwidget engine from the onedrive, normal installation.
The laptop has no other task conflicting, has the usual a/v or malware tools, malwarebytes, avast and sygate. The laptop in question has plenty of memory and plenty of CPU available, graphic memory and processor is good.
I'll test the engine on Vista and Win 7 and return with the results. Is there any configuration setting that might be causing it?
Any thoughts? I don't remember the older version of the widget engine causing this, is that still available for download anywhere?
