Hmm okay. Checked some verification screenshots, on hwbot after trying some msstyles hacks no transparency enabled in those screenies.

Has me thinking that the trick is, like vista to offload the rendering to the graphics card. Like Vista does.

So I think if I can get my hands on the Avalon SDK I will try that. It no longer is a DL on Microsoft's site, and it has changed names apparently. So tracking it down is not going to be easy.

I do not have all of my stuff here, or I would just install a version of XP I have that is pre tweaked. To test out the transparency stuff.

Also just finished D'Ling windowblinds and a Vista UI to see if that works, although I do not expect it too, based on the verification screenshots I saw at hwbot.

EDIT: Also going to try out Avivo and ATI stream SDK and see what they do.

EDIT EDIT: Okay MS styles improved the score a little bit (about 20w/s) installed Avivo and ran it again. jumped to 790w/s. Ran it again and scored over 1000w/s...

wonderif I am on the right track or the test just needs to be run 20 time to get 10,000 in xp lol
