Ok. I have the same here on my NOVA. So this can be debugged.

Moving the window outline around is the only busy loop left.
Probably random but not often clashes between the moose and vq_mouse.
This will be solved in the future.

Redraws are not optimized in any way. First everything must be correct.
Programs that try to execute as many AES calls per second as possible will be
the slowest. The architecture of XaAES makes it very multitasking friendly.
XaAES is completely event driven, no polling. Everything is triggered by a central
and only Fselect.

I have Papyrus on my Milan. So this can be debugged as well.
I think it has to do with multiple appl_init call's. If you are interested
search for dynamic client pool in the history. :-)
