Real (and usually more than adequately fast hardware...). I had the same 
lag problems with the installer in .18 as well.

Well, the lag on start is confusing, but liveable. I'm much more 
concerned with the lag during the install. I couldn't live with that, 
and if its as bad as I'm seeing on a fast machine, I dread to imagine 
what it would be like on a slow machine or in a VM environment.

:) I'm running whatever comes with the .19 iso. I'm going to reburn the 
iso, just in case and then I'll try your suggestions..  Thanks.

Oh, while I think of it, the developer crew stuff is badly out of date 
as well. Could do with some updating.
