WIndows 7 windowed performance

I just updated to Win 7 64 and I'm liking it so far, but windowed programs (not MaxGUI necessarily, but windowed programs in general) seem a LOT slower (like 1/3 the speed compared to WinXP).

Anyone else notice this? Is DX 10 the culprit? I'm running a Q9400 quad core processor with 4Gigs and a 512MB gfx card (not to mention that everything runs smooth as s**t on WinXP on the same exact computer), so that seems to be the likely culprit. Fullscreen seems to be basically ok.

Make sure that you have the latest video drivers installed for your video adapter, some of the drivers bundled with windows are pretty basic and don't give you full functionality for your video card.
