 Under XaAES you can be sure you only get rectangles of dirtied areas.
If you do your own clipping here, it would explain why zview services
WM_REDRAWS slightly slower than other apps.

 Yes, saw that in the video. This is not correct, and I just cant
understand why this happens... sure you run the .km?

 Yes, definately.

 Judging from these videos, you must be running a 5 year old XaAES
version. I just tested latest zView here, and it all worked fine. Looks
like there's slow handling of WM_REDRAWS in your app, but no problems as
in the video.

 I cant explain what goes on here. Are you absolutely sure you installed
the kernel module? Please explain how you installed XaAES?
