Not that this will solve all the speed issues on hires or slow systems, which is a know issue (but let MakeMusic! know about it anyway). > AND it's not true that the screen now always displays correctly.

Ctrl+D will have little effect in the new update system, since everything is cached. Instead, use Ctrl+Shift+D for buggy situations.
