I know this is kind of a "bragging" topic... but still i've seen a lot of performance issue threads by looking for Darwenia info on google

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but most of the performance issues have been under Mac OS. By WinXP standards, I don't think that your performance is much better than par.

This forum is for the Mac shareware version of Darwinia. Your performance settings is largely irrelevant to the normal people who visit this forum.
