well this is exactly what I suspected.

my graphics card is nvidia gt555m and i have an i7 2670qm processor. Anyone have an opinion on those? I use a dell laptop see. So I think that combo might not be ideal and in fact my card doesn't appear to support opengl which could be a main factor?

you're dead right about not letting vue eat ALL resources. At the moment, if i have just about any size eco system, every click causes vue to stop responding for a few seconds until one click causes it to stop for good.

in this regard, what would be the difference between xStream and Infinite?
