   That's atypical since most users report a noticable improvement.   
      
   If you can tell me what video card/chipset and which video driver   
   you're using, perhaps I can have the code avoid enabling it.   
      
   BTW... uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when possible" does NOT   
   work in this version.  "SET MOZ_ACCELERATED=0" is your best option   
   for permanently disabling it.
