Thank you for your reply Dianne
So can I assume that things such as windows transitions, the menu tab
sliding up, and the window shade sliding down are currently
hardware acclerated?
There is a bit of jerkiness in these functions- where would this be
coming from, and is it something that would be addressed/affected in
future OS updates?
Thanks again for your time
