Actually, after checking a few things, I think I have it figure out. I had to uncheck "Remove Aero" to get screen overlays for Windows 7, turn off "Poll On Event Only" to update more frequently and then realized I was only connected at 100 Mb instead of 1 Gb which sped things up considerably.
All taken care of. I guess I needed to just post to the forum before I could figure it out for myself. Oi.
