Well this is only the second true .net app i use on my computer ( 1ghz amd
512 mb ram and win xp pro ) and i also see no problems with the menus or
flashing and also i use the flat style, then ONLY thing i have noticed about
this and the other .net app i use are that they have very slow startup times
(  20+ seconds ) and i think this has to do with .net itself but not sure.
So i would GUESS that atleaste part of the preformance hit is from vmware
but dunno.
