This did make a definite difference in response time.  Thanks.  I'm also 
researching how to optimize my card so I can have full video effects turned 
on without latency... that card should be able to do it.  Gefroce2 MX 64MB.

I should mention to, I am running .9 from the CVS as of a day ago and when 
I am watching a recording and hit ESC to exit back to the recordings menu 
sometimes the screen doesnt redraw properly and I have to ESC again to the 
main menu and go back in for a redraw.  Dont know if this is my setup or a bug.
