My own experience is that the wireframe moves actually make performance significantly worse (you expose everything underneath and then have to send the modified areas of the screen as the frame drags over them); this included SunRay and VNC use. It also hits useability somewhat, so I wonder why it's recommended? (Although the collapsing frame when iconizing is just bad in every way.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
