WB4 is clearly superior.

Can't believe someone crying about a 1/2 sec. or a couple seconds. You have that much to do that you have to capture that insignificant amout of time.

MSSTYLES never gets updated same as it is since October 2001, how often does WB get updated new tweaks features performance and other things added.... couple weeks to month.
WB does not slow PC down unless its an animation skin which runs all the time, plus its down to skin author on how the UIS etc is getting painted.... streching everything on a skin will slow you down and same with alot of 32bit images. Plus most important thing, WB4 needs *.WB4 for cache for better speed on the skin which is good thing.
Maybe you should look into how to skin WindowBlinds yeah?

That might be a little 'overage' for that graphics card

Wouldn't think so. That resolution doesn't seem exagerated for that gfx card.
I think your puter probably has a problem if it's as bad as you say.
Personnaly I found that Windows slows down A LOT over time. It's been true for every version, and I found that XP is no different. I like to reformat and a clean reinstall of everything about once a year, 18 months max. It's amasing the difference it makes.
Other than that, when's the last time you defraged?

Good thinking PJ.
Some virus checkers such as Nortons as set as default to scan ALL file type as they are loaded. If you have Norton, make sure you do not have "Comprehensive file scanning (recommended)" checked. This will scan every single file as you open them, and therefore considereably slow the skinning down. Instead, select SmartScan, and select yourself the file types to scan. You can leave it to SmartScan's default settings, it doesn't include image types.
If you have another virus checker, look in oyur options, you may have something similar to that although it may be called something else.
