Aren't we speaking about the ticker virtual folder window? :-)

Hopefully, version 2's filtering will be an enhanced version of the
present.

The ticker here opens instantaneously.

I hadn't reached there yet. You may not have felt that an upgrade was in
order and needed. :-)

Probably???!!! I'd say DEFINITELY!!! Yaaaahhhh. LOL.

Dual processor? If you're using the machine you're using now, it's highly
unlikely that you'll need a dual processor system.

:-) Thank God for small mercies. :-) Anyway, I hope you do get the
opportunity to do an upgrade soon.

Yes. I've noticed this as well.

It's a minor revision of the initial release of 1.42. They changed the
method of compression of the executable among a few other things. Not
enough to release it as another version by /number/.

The ticker will only display unread messages.

This tends to happen on resource challenged systems. As you run a
particular application, it loads it's various components into the precious
RAM space and as a result speeding up by minimising paging. When you move
to another app, it pages a lot initially and then speeds up as it loads
itself into RAM.
