Yea, pretty high possibility. It was suggested that with the new  
improved (higher frequency) of mouse tracking event messages, Paint is  
now unable to keep up it's drawing rate. The suggestion being Paints  
design needs a tweak so that it doesn't try to respond to every single  
mouse event. Oh dear I'm now really badly paraphrasing Jim Gettys, of  
all people, so I'll just stand back and point to his email earlier in  
the week incase you missed :-)
