The acutal painting of the windows and their data slows }down to where you can actually see it updating the screen. You're hosing Windows memory someplace. Basically, when Windows gets slow it usually means that it's starting to thrash. This in turn means that your conventional memory is going down. Check to see if you're getting context without releasing context, if you're not releasing resources, if you're doing GlobalAlloc's without getting rid of the space you've allocated, etc. There are a million reasons this could happen, but you've got to track down where you're not freeing memory. -- "I place my faith in fools.
