I forgot who mentioned it, maybe Ken. You were totally right about throbbing buttons. With several of my biggest stacks open, including some that send messages to themselves periodically, running a rather complex script every second or so, Rev's CPU usage declined from 90% to 0.5% when I de-throbbed several buttons.

I'm not sure yet, but I've gotta hunch that slow text entry will no longer be an "issue".

Silly me! I assumed that these buttons would use minimal resources because they are native to the OS. As far as I can tell, there's no easy way to get the shaded Aqua button effect, without the throbbing. Too bad!

Anybody know about which graphics cards on which machines will take the load off the CPU by handling most of the GUI graphics independently? I remember reading something about this, but can't recall the details.

Maybe an upgraded graphics card be a poor man's substitute for a faster machine, in some cases... like mine. I've always wondered.

Thanks,


Tim
