Lol I actually know why this is so, GPU's have come such along way from the days of 2D that running 2D games on newer cards will often cause lag and bad fps even though these games could be played easily on computer 10-15 years ago, the same applies for aero, it actually takes more processing power (both CPU and GPU) to render a 2d environment because GPU's and Drivers are optimized for 3D nowadays and therfore fall short when it comes to 2D processing. So if you are running explorer.exe in non-aero you are effectively running it in 2D therefore creating extra load. On GPU and CPU functions, yes I know it Dosn't appear to make much sense but I find it kinda funny that something that is so trivial can prove detrimental to system performance, hope this helps.

But even though I like good performance, I won't have it if it means buggy graphics, and I'm not also using swiftshader for a sm3/4 game to run at 1fps. There has to be a balance for each hardware configuration.
