Hi,

I don't get any special messages in the console. The problem does not
occur on Windows using the same versions of SM and MZ.

If I put the mouse over the X and click immediately, it is not so
noticeable. But it becomes increasingly slow. If I hover for 5 seconds,
response to click/mouseout takes 9 seeconds; if I hover for 10 seconds,
response takes 19 seconds. And so on. I have Core2Duo E6600 overclocked
to 3.00ghz so I should have plenty of processing power. :)

Thanks,
Paul
