Do you have menu lag?

    I was wondering if anyone else had menu lag. When I open up applications in XP under Parallels, the menus seem to lag just a bit, such as the Bookarmks menu in Firefox or the Edit menu in Paint Shop Pro. It feels like I'm using XP through a Remote Assistance connection, if you're familiar with that XP feature. The Parallels software recommended using 1500 megs of ram and I'm only using 1024 megs of ram; I only have 2 gigs on my system and most of the time I can't spare a full 1500. Would using 1500 fix that problem? I don't know if more memory is allocated to the emulated graphics card based on the amount of ram given to the virtual machine or if I'm just going to have to live with this. Thanks!

    No lag here, and I just devote 384M to Windows XP pro, 512M to PD, and the rest of my 2G is for the Mac.

    I figured why it was lagging. I didn't update the Parallel tools from RC2 to FR. It solved the lag issue and now its running smootha gain.
