Don't worry about it. This is exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for.
I'm really going to need more details than this. We're building this thing because we want something faster and more robust than V2, and you're the first person to suggest otherwise. A good test would be to resize a window (the calculator sample found at http://scottyh.is-a-geek.net/actionstep/calculator.html is good) because it results in a full redraw of everything underneath it. If this works quickly, than your issues could be the result of something in our event loop, or maybe something in button specific code. And we are aware of a few problem areas right now (Window dragging, mouse tracking areas) but we're on track to having these resolved by our next release. In any case, would you mind going through some of this with me off-list (or on our mailing list)? I'm afraid I don't have a slow machine so I can't test these things for myself. Speed issues are unacceptable and will be we will optimize our code like crazy where necessary.

I think it is very exciting and cool. The architecture looks impressive and clean. So I hate to even write this post, and ask this question, but I must. My impression of the demo is that it is slow. Others may not see this, and in fact when I use it on some of my faster computers, it is... well faster. But I do most of my work on the slowest of the four computers I own, an 800mhz celeron. There are a variety of reasons for this, but one is that I want to make sure my work is as fast as it can be so I can *really* feel the pain of my user. In any case, when I click on things, there is a noticable pause before redraws. The MM v2 performance is substantially faster. On my, admittedly very slow computer, this experience would be unusable. So my question, which I hestate to ask, is whether there will be (or if it is even possible to do) any performance optimizations to get it to something like v2 performance. Again, I apologize for seeming to throw any cold water on your impressive work.
