 Does anyone else have these problems? This is scaring me!

 I can believe that from the video.

 This is critical ;-) I spent a lot of time and effort into the
rectangel-driver in XaAES. On my Milan/TT/Falcon XaAES is much faster
than N.AES. If there is a bug here I want it killed NOW! ;-)

 Ok, then you do have the .km ...

 Yes .. just tested under n_aes and it is fast. Could you provide me
with details on how you service WM_REDRAWS? XaAES combines WM_REDRAWS
too, you know, so if two redraws can be combined, they are. Perhaps
XaAES needs to treat WM_REDRAWS apps send itself differently...

 Ok, then this is a problem yet undetected for some reason. What
hardware do you run XaAES on?

 Looks ok
