This is a serious problem for me, ruining the "scrollable desktop"
experience. It seems like Afterstep performs full screen redraw after
each scroll event. What's curious, if I do this while holding a window
(drag a window across viewport border) the changes are almost
instanteous, while contents of other windows gets blurred (not updated
correctly). Although worse in the "looks" dept, this is definitely a way
better "feel", and I'll sacrifice a bit of the looks anytime for faster,
more smoothly running interface - and the feel of AS2.0 usablity went
down the drain for me because of it.
...also confirming slowness of "animate/open/resize" operations.
