Thank god somone at Apple considers response time as critical as I do. What
I'd like to see ideally is GUI co-processor that would be responsible for 
all screen updating, mouse tracking, etc.  That way no matter what was
going on in the background, you'd still get a menu right away when you 
click, or your windows would update at full speed.
