Hmm...
I tried to run START "dp" /belownormal dp.exe in a batch
command on my XP-PRO system, but the result was negative.
See the (quite impressive) screenshots here :

Well, technically, there is another solution.
1) set _default.pif "Idle sensitivity" to far left (I also deselect
"Always suspend" to avoid network issues).
2) instead of running shell or dp directly (which would consume 100% of
cpu), use a batch file (where you may wish to set some environment
variables such as WPC) that includes the "START" command.
Example starting SHELL with macros:
START "Shell" /BELOWNORMAL MC.EXE SHELL
or for dp only: START "dp" /belownormal dp.exe
Quotes portion will be title of window.
Belownormal keeps dp from hogging everything when you don't need it.

Now that I switched to XP, I find lookups can take a long time to
refresh.
That is, when performing a lookup, I frequently have to move the arrow
key up and down in the lookup list until it comes into view. What have
others here done to solve this?
There is only one solution, Ralph : install Tame!
I have DP running on a large number of XP-Pro machines for a company
critical POS-application.
Without Tame, this would be impossible: the application uses 100% of the
processor resources. With Tame installed, it runs extremely smoothly.
I bought a Tame Release 4 Multi-user license (150 users) for 532.88
Euros a couple of years ago, the single user license costs $20. Under
XP, I would recommend Tame version 4.5e (straightforward, no bells, no
whistles). It has a 30 days free evaluation license - which, by the way,
never expires.
Under Vista, you will need a more recent version (lots of whistles that
I don't need/like).
