The longer the lag, the more it blinks... somewhat indicating to me that maybe it is the culprit. Has anyone experimented with ways to turn this off, or move it so somewhere that might be updated more often (as far as I know, the WM taskbar is slow to update, it has a lag of a few hundred MS... combine that with a dynamic battery gauge such as VistaHide and I can see where it would slow to a crawl)

I just switched from Threaded to Classic texting mode and the calculator moving from the taskbar to the bottom of the text input area made no difference. Maybe theres a way to just shut it off completely?

I think someone should look into this... He could be on to something
