Actually, that is what I am having problems with.  I might have worded 
it wrong.  But, it really slows down performance.  If you were not to 
draw the small piece of background behind the cursor.  See, like when 
you start E/D, right after you click on the Demo button, move the mouse 
around the screen.  You will see it starts to update only the spots 
behind the cursor.  It also takes about 20 seconds longer to update the 
screen!  This also happens in between programs (Like after you dbl 
click on an icon, Loser quits and starts the app., that is when if you 
move it, it slows it down tremendosly!)
