I have to agree with Ed and you. I have found VPF 5.0 performance on par with some Delphi apps we have on the WinFrame. The trick as Ed suggests is to Lockscreen prior to a refresh, which I conveniently encapsulated in my own class called MyRefresh... I have to thank Craig Berntson for that piece of advice...
