I am starting a new thread because I have confirmed this to be a problem with both TBL 3.2 and the beta, 3.2.12. Specifically, when either version is installed, clicking on the "show desktop" icon takes 5 -10 seconds to switch to the desktop. This behaviour occurs when using either QLB or TLB - see below.
Running the default QuickLaunchBar the problem appears gradually, over a couple of hours. At first switching to the desktop is as quick as normal, but is accompanied by a slight flicker. Over time it gets more and more sluggish. Running TLB, though, the sluggishness is evident immediately. I've confirmed this but uninstalling the beta, and rebooting. QLB is fine - the "show desktop" icon takes me to the desktop immediately and continues to do so over a long period of time. I rebooted and then installed the last release (3.2). The sluggishness is there, right after installation (which came almost immediately after a reboot). If I close the TLB and open the QLB, the QLB "show desktop" icon behaves as above - normally, but with a flicker. Over time, this too gets more and more sluggish.
I am running a first generation Centrino notebook with 1024 MB RAM and a 5400 RPM 80 GB HD. OS is WinXP Pro Sp-2 with latest updates applied. I run in Windows Classic Mode with the themes service disabled. I do run the Yahoo Widget Engine with three default widgets - Yahoo Weather, Picture Frame, and the digital clock.
