Hi All,

Anyone else experience massive slow downs in GFX performance (1/3-1/4 of normal levels) when switching to portrait mode? I just rotated my Dell 20" displays and noticed that drawing is now very very slow. I even tried to install the latest ATI utilities with VersaVision but it seemed to have made no difference at all.

Hardware is a dual 2GHZ with 9600XT.

I can't even get to/find Apple's rotation options. I can rotate w/ ATI's control panel, but that seems to run no slower than non-rotated.

Dual 2.5GHz, X800XT, Dell 2001FP.
