To clarify a bit, it wasn't really an issue for me, but I can see how it might for the slower computer. On my notebook, for example, scrolling in IE (with smooth scrolling enabled) triggered PowerNow to speed up the processor (800Mhz-scroll-chop-skip-1800MHz) while scrolling while the old skin doesn't.That's interesting. I do have an X2 with 2GB of RAM, but I also run 2 Folding clients all day, and probably have oh, 12 windows open right now with different apps, some of which are active/polling. . . and I don't see any choppiness with IE on the new skin.
