But it's not so much its slowness as the fact that it will lock the cursor
for many seconds at a time, so that I can't even get at the close gadget
to get out of the lockup! Does that not happen to other folks?

much more snaillish than W+, so yes there must be something in the latter
that's not being friendly about letting other threads in.)
