The same happens here, usually in the 4 color screen already. I tried
several times, but at some point WSpeed just doesn't time-out and keeps
testing.

: Is this problem due to WSpeed, or some other hack ?

I hope it's WSpeed, although I don't think it's more than a loop with
PutPixel() in it, waiting for a timeout. 

: Is there any other graphics card speed measuring software ?

SysSpeed has a graphics test part.
