Yes, but not good ones. An app like this should be able to run not just on brand-new hardware, but on some reasonable collection of recent hardware, so that you don't require much of your user base to upgrade hardware in order to use your software. And reasonable people can argue for days as to what constitutes a "reasonable collection of recent hardware", but I feel strongly that my system would be in that collection.

At any rate, as I've posted elsewhere, this is moot, since a reboot cleared things up. Perhaps the Finale installer should reboot when it's done.

I don't consider this "optimization", since the latency I was seeing really made Finale unusable. Again, though, it seems to have gone away.

Yes. From what you said, though, I was expecting something like a slightly longer delay when exiting the Speedy box, or more frequent redraws, or something like that. The latency I was seeing went far beyond "incovenience".

Aaron.
