Yes, forgot to mention my OS experiences:
On XP, shutting down programs doesn't help mine at all, nor disabling services. I do have Windows XP. It is pretty strange though, because Graal would not lag on a different OS. Even on Vista with the Vista ForceWare drivers with all the 60+ services enabled, it wouldn't lag at level changes like it does on XP. Both XP SP1 and SP2 perform the same. Linux performed similar to Vista.
I attached my graal4console log, but all you're probably going to get from that is the fact I like to use higher resolutions.
I uploaded two videos to YouTube to show both new and old ForceWare performance. There's quite a speed difference, and both are recorded at my max resolution using Fraps 2.8.1.

Gerami, could you test the same way as in the video? Maybe even a screen recording? Testing a different way won't give the same results.
