Blender 2.44 (for Windows) is toooo slow

Hello,

I have a problem with Blender 2.44 (Windows version).
So this question mostly for people who using Blender.

My Blender starts OK and work couple of minutes just fine (fast). But after 5 minutes of intensive walking though menus and clicking buttons I getting very noticeable slow down. CPU usage gets to 100%. Any redrawing of the screen (even simple highlighting current menu item) takes 2-3 seconds.

Does anybody ever meet the same?

Thank You.

Yes i got this with 2.44, what graphics card do you have?

It is Radeon 200M (ATI Mobility Radeon 200).

P.S.: Any application using OpenGL runs a bit slower than DirectX9, but runs OK all the runtime.

Me too! I think it is the fault of the card then... it is not powerful enough to handle basic amounts of vertices etc...

It can do effects and stuff but when compared to a proper card it does not have the processing power.

I doubt it is blender's fault. The windows is slow itself
