Subject: new ShredderClassic GUI not friendly with Windows multitasking

I tried multitasking the new ShredderClassic GUI with my usual programs like
Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, EditPad Lite, etc., and it slows down my
Windows XP Home (SP1) to slower than a snails pace!? It's too slow to be
practical. For example if I want to start Outlook Express, I must sit there and
wait about 30-60 seconds for it to load come up fully on the screen. In contrast
the native Shredder 8 CB/GUI works reasonably OK for multitasking with windows.
Athlon XP 2400+, 1GB RAM.

I didn't notice much difference from the Classic 6 GUI that came with Shredder
7, so I can't see any reason to pay for an update of something that I can't use
anyway.
