I'm curious why so many people keep saying things
like this. Do you have software that lags when you
close it? I don't. If I did I'd certainly be wondering
what it's doing between the time I click the X and
the time the window disappears. I'd be running
regmon, filemon, and monitoring Internet activity
or requests. Oddly, Jimmy doesn't seem to be
interested in checking with those tools.

I have found that if I block software from going
online these days, especially installers, it will typically
seem to freeze as it keeps trying without telling me.
Then after maybe 30 seconds it will just continue,
like a child who's tried to grab a handful of cookies,
couldn't reach them, and now is trying his or her
best to look nonchalant.

I just opened a project in Visual Studio. 30-odd
project files. 40-50 DLLs loaded, according to
ProcExplorer. Two temp files opened. When I close it
the window disappears almost instantly. My most
bloated, slowest, pig of a program is Paint Shop Pro
16. It takes several seconds to load and even the
menus are slow. But when I close it, it's gone almost
instantly.

But to read the posts here it sounds like I
may be the only person who's ever seen a
program close promptly.
