We a have found the problem with slow nullDC performance!!

I haven't spoken to Raksmey1309 but I can almost guarantee he has the same prob as Czez has.

Due to the processes that nullDC uses it pushes laptops to ALMOST bottleneck, so when running @ES even though its only a low powered process running it pushes your laptop over the edge and causes slow-downs!
Its the exact same problem caused by pcsx2 on laptops!!

It actually has to do with the heavy usage the front-side bus and Northbridge have to cope with that desktop computers don't need to worry about so much!

We will have a new drawing method implemented later which will cut @ES usage a great deal and should stop this problem with Nulldc running on a laptop using @ES, but due to the fact that it means a major re-write of the drawing methods @ES uses to display the picture on screen this will not happen till the next full release (@ES - shadow)!

For this reason if you are using @ES on a lap-top it is not recommended to control NullDC or pcsx2 with @ES for now!
But if you have created playlists and set-up covers already you can leave them ready for when this does occur!!

@ Raksmey1309

If you are not using a laptop please let @ruantec or myself know and we will try and sort the problem for you!!
