Window Blinds performance.

Nope......
What OS, how much ram, which theme, etc............ ?
Maybe someone can help you with your problem, but we need more input.

System is: PIII 1ghz, 512mb, 9gb 7200rpm, XP Pro. Themes being used are blackcomb, Xi01, gunmetalblue, phasechange and sage. I've compared all of these to the standard luna blue with a cnet bandwidth test and all are having slower downloads ranging from 170-300kbps slower. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. JS

have you tried this bandwidth tester? http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

hmmm... things seem normal with this test. thanks cjorli

I only noticed this on one skin. It was an awsome skin and nobody else seemed to have that problem, but indeed, even by FTP, my download speed dropped to about 5 times slower. It was MikeB's Colony skin. Awsome looking skin, but apparently incompatible with my system, which was overall crawling.

Not bad for running WindowBlinds.

Communications

3.2 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet

Storage

392.3 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.

1MB file download

2.6 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
