[screenweaver] Impressions of using SW with Xray

[john grden]

Man, i've really been happy with the performance so far in using the SW 
version of Xray.

1. After leaving Xray open all night, coming back, there's wasn't a huge 
disk swap/reclaim of memory when I clicked on the dropdown or switched tabs. 
Every time I leave the zinc version open like that, it takes a while to 
reclaim the memory and get its act together. I came in this morning and 
everything was as responsive (from what I could tell) as when I went to bed 
last night. Which makes John a happy coder.

2. when running the SW version side by side with the Zinc version, there's a 
noticeable difference in the flash redraw/performance. I don't know how to 
really best put it other than, when I click tabs to go back and forth, the 
SW version is much more pepy/fast than the zinc version. I had always 
thought it was lethargic in the zinc wrapper, and now this confirms it. 
Overall performance in SW seems to be much better.

So, with that, I'm going to go ahead and make a full SW version and put in 
the hooks for resizing the stage etc and also convert my FLV player over to 
see how that does (http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=74)

excellent work guys, really REALLY am glad this is working out!!!

can't WAIT to get to the crossplatform stuff and get off of zinc.
